It was literally designed to stay open during construction.



Access will come from a new temporary intersection at 37th street and Lakeview drive, about 50m south of the current roundabout. Casino traffic will split off west there and access will be maintained throughout construction.



Somewhat. The developments will eventually be the larger generator of traffic, so the new interchange has the southern leg veering slightly west away from the community. Lakeview residents would go south from Glenmore on the new 'Tsuut'ina Parkway' road, and then turn east into the community. This design keeps development traffic out of the community. If the interchange went into Lakeview first, then development traffic would have to head into Lakeview first before splitting off, which no one wants.

It might not seem it on first glance, but it's the better of the two options even for residents IMO.



99% of the time, no problems. Sometimes after a concert lets out a 1000 cars are trying to get out at the same time, I have seen things back up at that location.

Well that about shoots down all the groups arguments.
I nominate 5seconds to represent against them.
