A traffic circle would be ideal at the intersection of 109 St and 61 Ave, far better than the dog's breakfast that's there now.
Relocate that McDonald's - it is a major hindrance.

Sorry what was that? I heard relocate the Mcdonald's to the middle of the roundabout.

Mcdonalds Island shall live on!

It's honestly not that bad. I drive there frequently (and at one point, daily, at several different times of the day) and it generally has good flow, and I don't think I've counted more than one or two accidents in at least a couple of years (no more than at least a dozen of less busy intersections).

Closing it? For god knows how long, to make a traffic circle, would be too much inconvenience and cost for a very marginal improvement. I remember when they had that sinkhole that closed east-west for months, and it was an absolute nightmare.

There’s also the challenge of 109 Street going south, which is used by a lot of buses.

124 Street SB from 118 Ave to 111 Ave is now reopen!

It's quite nice. I like how the sidewalks are nice and wide. Also I'm glad to see the through lane has been reduced to one lane in each direction.

That stretch does look pretty darn good now.

Lots of trees? With Christmas lights wrapped them them or just naked?

This afternoon I was reminded why I now avoid St. Albert like the plague.

After enduring red traffic light after red traffic light on St. Albert Trail, I turned onto Villeneuve Rd, traversed a traffic circle and was suddenly greeted by a dead end. Apparently the damn frogs are doing more construction work on a section of the road. Couldn't they have done this work last year when the road was closed? And once again there weren't any signs on St. Albert Trail stating that Villeneuve Rd was closed. So I turned back onto St. Albert Trail and endured more red traffic lights until I finally escaped into Edmonton.

Villeneuve Rd is now reopen. I was able to drive from Ray Gibbon Dr to St Albert Trail.
Nevertheless I'll still try to avoid St Albert like the plague.

That looks cool I want to climb it.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Where is that?

 

[EdmTrekker]

I hope this art is not vandalized but it is wood and rope.

 

[Gronk!]

Where is that?

105 Ave (aka Columbia Ave as per @Glenco 's post) and around the 112 St/113 St area. I believe a plaza is to be installed there.

Well if that 127st bypass ever gets built , it would take a lot of the load off St Al Trail. If I have to go from south St Al to the North Side I take Ray Gibbons now. For some reason its faster than all the lights and bad drivers.
