I can merge just fine, thank you. But after seeing at least a half dozen cars pushed into a snow bank over the years because someone would not merge(most people don't get it), I don't think a few more feet of pavement would hurt anything. There are 2 hotels, a car dealership, a Denny's, a curtain shop and sams club gas pumps that have to go beyond the first entrance to sams club, that creates quite a bottle neck at times.
