And I can only imagine it continuing to grow as a hub, with that new office park being built there, along with future university related developments. It is amazing how much traffic is generated by schools and universities. The first week back to school/uni for the city in September feels like a snow-day with everything backing up on glenmore and crowchild until people get used to the increased traffic.

I think the major selling point for an idea like this would be the additional link across the Elbow River, and as far I can see it this would probably be the only simple way to provide that access (nimbyism aside of course) with the least expropriation as possible.
