And if that's not enough they could make it a dual left (and let WB exiters realize that the other exit is better).
And it's not like all 3000 will parachute in at once. The amazing thing about road systems is that they actually do balance themselves out as edge cases seek the path of least resistance. Some people might even try taking the bus instead!
I would also think that the main impact of resident traffic would be trying to exit on weekday mornings - before anyone else is really trying to leave the shopping complex. Saturday afternoons will continue to suck and maybe suck a bit more. A few weekend hours is hardly reason to quash a development.

Sure, but it’s not just that. Amusingly, as I headed home from the Rio Can session yesterday and turned onto 90th, the turn into Glenmore Landing was backed up. This just illustrates the issue with the area as it is; Glenmore Landing does need to be redeveloped and there are traffic flow issues as it stands. I’m not an expert in these matters, but you what won’t fix this? 3000 more people, and say 1000 more vehicles.
It’s pretty evident that people who actually use Glenmore Landing today, are totally against this. It’s because we all see the current situation and this is just going to exacerbate the issues. I actually think the redevelopment is awesome, just not the six towers of people portion.
But I know we’re going to be stuck with this, and that’s why I went to the session (to see what we’re in for). I’ll just avoid that area like the plague because it’s going to be unusable.
