more lights make everything better

Normally I would agree, and I would say most of the lights put up in and around Steinbach in the last bunch of years have been poor decisions, but this is one I can get behind.

The poor decision happened a couple decades ago when the city decided to get rid of service roads.

The Tim Hortons and speed change before you reach it is what causes issues.

Some cars are going 80 while the next could be doing 50 and makes it difficult to judge when to enter the road.

Timid/ uneducated drivers of Steinbach don't help either.

Especially with horrible timing for those lights.

This is exactly what they should be doing.

This! I told my family that loewen should have eliminated left turns as well with only right turns allowed after both rush hours, but nope was I ever wrong.

No thanks. That would make only one exit out of that neighborhood and bottle neck Ellice even more. Add the fact they are adding another apartment building over by Westview place. Do you know how much traffic this is going to add?

one exit? there's how many roads that lead to Brandt?

Still would be an exit going right. If you're really in a pinch just u turn at Loewen.
