As far as I know Barlow will extend north to the ring road for access to the airport, 94th will extend from harvest hills right to the airport.

Nope, in a couple years Barlow is gone ( the part that goes through to the airport north of the new Sandman Hotel)

I'm talking Barlow "north of the Airport" maybe it'll be renamed but it'll be there.
Ahh, yes I read that wrong.

Barlow Trail will not intersect with the ring road North of the Airport, only Metis Trail will. Metis Trail is not complete all the way through, The section between 80th Ave and Country Hills Blvd will not be complete when the ring road opens (hopefully next spring/summer). 96th Ave will connect from harvest Hills to Airport Trail - the city is expropriating the land required to do so.
When the rest of the ring road opens up on November 1, the route you would take from the airport to the ring road would be airport trail- deerfoot - stoney Trail (ring road) (most likely), or Barlow - Country Hills Blvd - Metis - Stoney.
