It certainly doesn't need to run through the middle of town though... isn't there a roadway planned, or under construction through the South of town? Or am I confusing that with Edmonton? Sorry... not watching the Alberta construction too much.
They should just make a trenched freeway where 16th Avenue is, and build overpasses crossing over it at the major cross streets, and maybe a parallel side street to serve local traffic. Something like what they did with the Upper Levels Highway in the City of North Vancouver between Lonsdale Ave. and Westview Drive, where there used to be intersections.
