It's back to the drawing board for the province with regards to plans to make the intersection of highways 1 and 5 near Carberry safer.
The intersection was he scene of a deadly collision between a semi truck and a bus in June of 2023, that killed 17 seniors from the Dauphin area and injured eight others.
The province had proposed a restricted crossing u-turn, which would prevent traffic on highway 5 from turning left on or proceeding straight across highway 1.
But Premier Wab Kinew says after hearing from the community, the government will not proceed with that plan and instead will now step back and consider different options.
More than 2,100 people in the area signed a petition that said the design would not improve safety
Carberry Mayor Ray Muirhead says residents would prefer an overpass to separate traffic.
