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.

If we're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a road, it makes more sense to divert Bronson via a tunnel under Commissioners Park or Dows Lake, then a sunken freeway along Booth street between Carling and the Queensway. This would allow traffic from the south to bypass the more residential section of Bronson completely. Bronson through the Glebe could then be narrowed to a two- or three-lane street.
Of course, I'd prefer to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on transit and cycling infrastructure.
