Some news stories have a tendency to go on and on.
Such is the case with roundabout at the intersection of Mayhew and Darlington.
The somewhat locally infamous intersection actually made the Yorkton This Week top-10 stories of 2019, and returns to this year’s list as well.
In 2019 it was on the list because of the protracted saga Yorkton Council went through on even agreeing to install a roundabout at the intersection.
It turned out to be an issue which literally kept Yorkton Council going in circles in May 2019 before finally agreeing to direct Administration to authorize the completion of the design for the intersection of Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street East as a roundabout, with the work to be included in the reconstruction tender for Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street, and further that Administration be directed to include installation of a pedestrian crosswalk lighting by the roundabout in the project.
The roundabout returns to the top-10 this year because construction was finally started and completed this summer allowing drivers to finally use the much discussed and argued over intersection.
