Perfect example here.

How far ahead should they plan? Should planners today make infrastructure decisions based on a population of 3 million? Would Calgary taxpayers be okay with paying up front for infrastructure for a city of 3 million in 30 years?
I think the city has done a pretty good job with long-term planning. The right-of-ways for the west leg of the ring road have been set aside and ready since the adjacent communities were built almost 40 years ago.
