Closure of Scenic Drive intersection gave respite to nearby residents

Please pass along my thanks and appreciation to the road crews working in Lethbridge that closed the 13th St. S. and 16 Ave. S. intersection where 16 Ave. S. also intersects with Scenic Drive for several weeks. The effect on those living in the area was profound: A respite from constant honking and loud swearing as motorists narrowly avoid collisions at that ill-designed intersection, reduced traffic noise as fewer people could travel in the area and had to do so at much reduced speeds. 

The several weeks of ongoing closure were bliss. Now that they are ended, we’re back to our daily forbearance. Can’t wait until this intersection is redeveloped. I’ve seen the plans, they’re delightful!
