It's back to the drawing board for the Town of Swan River and Manitoba Transportation with regards to improvements to the intersection of Highways 10 and 83.
Originally, a roundabout was proposed for that intersection.
In 2022, the province stated they would not proceed with an option involving turning lights, unless concrete medians were also included.
Public consultation was called for, which included a meeting held on December 16th in Swan River.
A majority of the input received at that meeting did not support a roundabout option at that intersection, an opinion that Swan River Town Council now agrees with and informed the province of this morning.
The province has committed to exploring other solutions, including the possibility of implementing a timing sequence that would allow left turns from the intersection while holding back oncoming traffic, without requiring a median.
