Anyone know of potential upgrades to Hwy 85 or Blockline/Courtland (unrelated, of course)?
I've had to drive in the Blockline/Courtland area a bunch for the past few weeks, and this intersection has got to be on of the slowest and worst in the city. Traffic making a left from Courtland onto Blockline is always backed-up way past Shelley. Trying to get on Courtland from Shelley or Siebert is next to impossible.
I know it's a relatively new intersection but it's really just awful. Probably could have benefited form a roundabout, but it would have been difficult with A) the massive slope there, and B) The ion station there.
Hwy 85: does the MTO plan to widen this anytime soon? Every time I drive down there between 11am – 6pm, traffic is near stand-still until around Lancaster. It's been that way for some years. They've got all the space in the median for expansion, so I don't understand why they haven't used it, unless there are other plans for the area (it doesn't go as far as the new Hwy 7, so that couldn't be it I don't think).
