Oh sure, after driving the route a few times I don't think it's as bad as it looks on paper. I just needed to clarify for folks who may not ever take out a map and ruler. It's not "in the city" like Calgary's or Winnipeg's is, but it's nowhere near as bad as Toronto (which is how some make it out to be).
Incidentally, I can make it from YYC to my house on the complete opposite side of the city in 15 minutes, but that's because of a newly-built freeway.
I didn't realize until recently, but there's a much closer (but still outside the city) airport just north of Edmonton. Why didn't the powers-that-be choose that location way back when? Seems more logical than Leduc.
