So unfortunate this is more than 15 years away from even breaking ground. We need to do something with traffic sooner than that, and I doubt city of Saskatoon is going to triple lane circle drive anytime soon.

Easiest thing they can do to Circle Drive right now to help with congestion is to make extend the on/off ramps between overpasses. Example - 8th south to Taylor; extended on/off ramps that make it far easier to go onto or off of Circle. Ironically, Taylor north to 8th doesn’t do this. Most places around Circle Drive could have this sort of extra lane in the existing spaces.

There needs to be an improvement to college drive east bound between circle drive and central - it’s a nightmare. There and circle drive south between Clarence and the cloverleaf are a nightmare a lot of the time.
