There was some 'grubbing' done last year where the roundabout is to be, but no sign of any work since. I think they decided to do the watermain progrect and that put a stop to any other roadwork in the area, including TGH. I'm not sure they actually finished the watermain project before the winter set-in, there's still equipment on site and perhaps some work to do at the eastern end of the project on Empire.

You're right. I found the relative city meeting minutes from July 2, 2014.
The confusion arises because it was the city who struck a committee to study a roundabout.
Here is the relevant excerpt:
.
Blackmarsh Road and Team Gushue Highway Extension
–
Road
Realignments
–
Delegation from City’s Construction Engineering Division.
The Committee Mr. Scott Winsor who gave a presentation outlining options for the
design of the intersections at
Empire Avenue and Georges Pond Road with Blackmarsh
Road.
Three Options tabled for consideration were:
–
Option 1
–
2 Way Stop Controlled intersec
tion
–
Option 2
–
Signalized Intersection
–
Option 3
–
Roundabout
Based on a Level of Service (LOS) Analysis, option 3 is the preferred choice
Recommendation
On a motion put forth by Councillor Puddister, the Committee recommends
approval of a roundabout design for the intersections at Empire Avenue and
Georges Pond Road with Blackmarsh Road and that Hatch, Mott and McDonald
be requested to proceed with the detailed design package to be used for
construction by the Province.
cheers,
