I would be all for closing Wenzel on the south side of 101, or making it a RIRO.
The issue with wenzel on the north side of 101 and that entire 'neighbourhood' is that once the upgrades to 59 happen, the access to pritchard farm road will be closed. That leaves Wenzel/59, 202/59, and Wenzel/101 as access points. I believe Wenzel/59 could be rerouted in the future to 202/59 (where the diamond is supposed to be) and closed where it currently is at 59. That would leave only two entrances and exits out of that area.
As much as it's annoying to keep that access for 20 or so single family homes on large lots, in the event of a closure at one of the two exits there should be some way to access the neighbourhood. That area will likely become more populated in the not-so-distant future and could possibly be more dense than the rest of ESP so that they can increase their tax base. That whole area properly filled in would likely need more than one access point, so keeping Wenzel at 101 is likely necessary.
