The current overpasses that they are building are desperately needed. The Glenmore/Elbow Drive interchange was needed years ago. The 16th/Stoney interchange has been needed since Stoney Trail was built. The overpasses on Crowchild have been needed for years. The lights on Deerfoot (which have since been removed) were ridiculous.
There are still more improvements needed. Public Transport is definitely needed, but in addition to more efficient roads. To simply dismiss this reality, when it is one of (if not THE) major issues of the election, is pretty foolish.
