'Absolutely,I can't wait for the roundabout'

"Aroundabout would make more sense here," said Jennifer Robertson.

"The next one should be that weird, weird, weird crossroads in front of A1 Vacuum. I'm never sure what to do there."

Most commenterswere in line with Robertson, saying that this particular intersection is in dire need of a roundabout.

"Absolutely,I can't wait for the roundabout,"Kathy Cudmoresaid. "This is probably one of the worst intersections in the city."

Craig MacDonald added,"that's the only intersection that should have one" and Tim Gormley agreed: "I was thinking the same thing. If there was ever an intersection that needed one."

Blaine Sonny Curransaid this has been something "being promised for years" and for governmentto"get on with it."

'Nobody uses them correctly'

Some commenters weren't fans of a roundabout for that intersection. While some disagreed with the idea for a roundabout entirely, some said the roundabout would be a nice addition to the city if people use itproperly.

"Roundabouts would have been a great idea, but nobody uses them correctly," Louie Darrach said.

"Every one, from Maypoint and into town, always has traffic backed up in two directions because people refuse to drive correctly."

Sharyn McCormack echoed what Darrachsaid.

"I love the idea of roundabouts when they are used properly. But, unfortunately, a lot of people don't know how to yield into them," she said.

Ian Smith said "no way" to a roundabout there. "The back up traffic at Mount Edward intersection would be huge," he said.

Other commentersfelt the intersection was fine as is.

"I use it twice each weekday and I am fine with it as it is," said Sandi Gallant.
