It was my first time there since before construction began. I was very confused. The two legs of Mill are far enough apart that it seems like two intersections. On foot, it seems huge and unfriendly, yet there is a transit station right there.
I was also annoyed that my only option approaching Ottawa from the south was to turn right. I wanted to continue on Mill (I went to TWB), so I needed to go to Courtland, then Stirling, and then left on Mill, but I will know better next time.
If your destination were, say, the Joy townhouses or TWB, that represents a pretty substantial detour, although slightly less so if you know to stay on Courtland. The good news, I guess, is that the long line-ups on Mill due to left-turning vehicles must now be a thing of the past.
Actually, now that I think about it, there is now not much reason for through traffic to take that short bit of Mill between Courtland and Ottawa.
