Summary
Everyone agrees this intersection is bad, but a recommended traffic light and realignment is out of reach for both the city and the developer's budgets. The developer is instead paying for a dedicated right-turn lane on Highland Drive as a partial fix.

Impact analysis
The full signal-and-realignment fix is outside the city budget for now; the developer covers the right-turn lane instead.
Drivers who use the Highland and Bernard intersection get a modest safety improvement without new city spending.
Drivers hoping for a full signal and realignment will have to wait, as the underlying safety problem remains.
