The new roundabout at Kimberley Avenue, Ross Street and Spokane Street is open to traffic.
The city is urging residents to slow down and approach the intersection carefully as drivers get used to the traffic change.
While local traffic will be going in circles, the mini-roundabout is intentionally designed with a smaller centre island that larger and oversized vehicles can travel over.
The roundabout wasn’t the only change to that section. City staff said the main focus of the Kimberley Avenue project was underground water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure upgrades.
The city said snow removal crews have been trained on maintaining the roundabout and snow clearing will include the full travelled portion of the intersection.
