The only way that could really be possible would be to route the Airport Parkway to the east instead of to the west as it approaches Uplands. Sort of have a Y exit, one continuing towards the airport via the current route, and the other would have to be routed on/beside the Rail Corridor that is there to Leitrim. And then simply rename the portion that goes south to possibly Riverside Parkway / Riverside South Parkway? (too confusing?)

Or we could spend Billions of dollars and do what Calgary is doing and tunnel underneath the runway and have the Airport Parkway run in a straight line until Leitrim and continuing to Earl Armstrong. IMO this would create a huge 'shortcut' for Riverside South AND Barrhaven residents (new bridge) but will never happen because of financial reasons.
