yes... that's my thinking as well. I would also think that the province should/would contribute money towards the Whitemud/Terwillegar Interchange and the AHD/Terwillegar interchange... the ones in between, maybe not.
We can start to spend 1.2 Billion over 30 years,
or
we can spend 300 M, upgrade to expressway for 5 years... and then
we can spend another 1.2 billion over the next 5-30 years and build it properly.
But politicians only really care about the short term, and what will get the votes in the next election, not what's best for the long term... Option 1 above is the best for the long term in so many ways, so of course we will go option 2.
