Once the West leg of the Ring Road is built, we won't have to imagine. The SWCRR plans of 2009 called for Glenmore trail to be a 10 lane expressway at the completion of Stage 1, though I haven't seen the City's plans for actually doing that, or doing anything about Glenmore/Crowchild. I think bottlenecks downstream from the SWCRR will be a given, but I wonder to what extent.
