Eliminating the exit at Lancaster would remove a significant safety issue with the weaving and should improve flow south through that area. Wellington to Lancaster is really not that much further and the Wellington interchange is significantly under-used as it is. Closure would also improve movement north (albeit only slightly).
The additional challenge with exiting at Wellington (apart from the extra distance) is the left turn at Lancaster. It would make the Lancaster-Wellington intersection busier, not sure how well that would work.
But maybe the bigger question with the Wellington exit is how will it look once the new Highway 7 is finally built. If I understand correctly, it'll start at the Wellington exit and head east from there. Or am I mistaken?
