Or even improve the back accesses to businesses. Like here at Oxbow Bend Road as a service road for Portage Ave

Also, now that a Costco is being built at Headingley, I kinda what's going to happen with out infrastructure?

I have a feeling that area will be a Zoo similar to Route 90. Highway 1 is already a critical transportation route with tons of traffic, and adding all those businesses there will make Portage Ave West of the Perimeter even more of a choke point than it already is. That area has been booming over the years. Within the past 20 years many businesses have popped up. Some hotels appeared (including the Motel 6, Best Western Plus), Car Dealerships, Pilot/Denny's, and multiple apartment complexes have been built lately. Headingley itself has been booming as a community.

I'm sure the Perimeter Cloverleaf at Portage will eventually be upgraded to a Parclo or Diverging Diamond.

But hopefully that would encourage the government to consider building the Headingley Bypass. This time we'd have a logical reason to actually build it, not just as a trophy LOL.

I see here at the Granduer Homes enterance in Headingley, I notice there used to be a traffic light there in 2007. I'm kinda curious what was there for a traffic light to exist. That road pretty much goes nowhere.

Edit, I see now. There was a Drive In Movie Theatre. I thought there would've been a Sports field or something there. Drive in theatres are fading away nowadays, and I want to go to one someday.

Almey Ave access to Focus Hyundai and SCU should be converted into either a RIRO Intersection or a partial segregated T-intersection. Traffic wishing to go onto SB Lag from EB Almey would head to the cloverleaf at Concordia.

The partial T-intersection could use an on-demand traffic signal that would start operation 2 hours before the SCU and Focus Hyundai open and turn off 2 hours after they close. Sundays the signals would turn off completely as the businesses are closed. The intersection would be treated like a normal intersection and to go when it's safe to do so.
