To note, in a diamond lane your are not permitted to travel through an intersection. you must turn or stay out the lane. A lot of people ignore that and just blast on through down the diamond lane. See it all the time, especially in afternoon rush. I want to smash those people.

Lol, I kinda don't care about those one intersection offenders... The reduction of 4 lanes to 3 is a much greater delay to traffic and it becomes quite tedious. It's a minor delay for buses, big one for cars.
Transit took away everyone's right turn on fort, forcing a delay on that until St.Mary's would increase traffic. For me, that's the easiest blind eye to turn for one (changing) intersection.
That one should also never have been a mandatory right turn or diamond... everyone exiting out of the parkade onto Main always struggles to exit it before graham, either slowing traffic, or stacking a parkade line-up 100M long. That and Winnipeggers will be so self-righteous about not speeding but wouldn't dare let someone in ahead of them...
If someone does it more than an intersection, then I'm with ya though.
