I had two incidents in this intersection in the same morning! The first: I was on Mecartney approaching Island and Mecartney from the east and was almost hit by someone who went straight through the intersection from the west and did a sudden u turn in front of Starbucks to get over to the right turn land for Island. This is a common occurrence because there’s always a long line for the left turn lane onto Island from Mecartney and people get impatient and frustrated. The second: Less than a minute later, as I turned right onto Island, I had a close call with someone who was not in the left turn lane onto Island, but who started to go straight and then swung left and speed up making the turn to skip the line of other waiting cars. I have watched lights and roundabouts get added all over town. I do not understand why the city is determined that this intersection must absolutely remain a four way stop forever no matter what.
