IMHO, all future suburban neighborhoods of the city should use Garrison Woods as a benchmark or model to follow, which would make them more "walkable"/pedestrian friendly and less reliant on automobiles. Calgary developers have to stop the endless loop de loop-cul-de-sacs and subdivisions with only 1 or 2 entrances. Unless there's big f%$#ing gates and a security guard(s) watching over 5,000+ sq ft homes, your subdivision isn't really that "exclusive" and should have numerous cross streets, entry/exit points and connections to neighboring subdivisions. Bring back the traditional street grid, or slight modifications of it!
