I was thinking similarly. I would guess that by the suggestion of opening a grocery store downtown they expect that their project (as well as all the other projects under construction) would finally increase the population enough justify a new full sized grocer to open. There will be a lot of people living downtown by, let's say 2025 for example, as current projects complete and newer ones continue to go up.

Would the lights are temporary until the reconstruction of FH is finished in front of the store (Eg. median is completed forcing people to turn right and swing around the roundabout to go south)?
It seems the archeological work is still in progress meaning FH reconstruction will continue into another season.

Our neighbourhood group asked the local councillor. She said that the final plan is that this will remain a light when the construction is completed. If it were a roundabout the Pylon Sign probably should not have been installed where it is.

There is a similar situation at Erb St, just west of Ira Needles where a light was put in. The traffic flow is heavy enough out to Costco that it can be difficult to exit in either direction onto Erb.

Dutchie's has opened its newest location on Gateway Park (the Sportsworld area; it's in the former Ikea unit).

Finally! I've never been to a Longo's but I have heard lots of good things about it I'm glad they're finally opening one in KW.

Longos is great. I am fortunate that I work in Mississauga so I utilize one here. Not cheap, but good quality and unique items..
