as for crowchild and glenmore fixes, will be interesting to see how traffic patterns change with stoney trail completed..
should be possible to have glenmore free flow between stoney by then, only 2 interchanges left? fairly cheap and easy
crowchild on the other hand.. will be a monster, and hugely disruptive.
still can't help thinking that filling in that missing link in the network, and turning south sarcee into south shaganappi would be reasonably affordable, and would provide a detour route for the crowchild overhaul. could also be used for the SW transit corridor, and be the pretext to get northland station/TOD going. push it south and you can get TODs going at signal hill, tsuu t'ina and MRU too
spitball ~100mil for bow tr interchange
~200 mil for bow bride and approach
~100 mil for interchanges at 32 & 40 ave
~100 mil for crowchild interchange upgrade
so maybe a half bil all in, and we get a pretty good overall network upgrade with groth capacity, future LRT route, and a nice workaround for the crowchild pain
