As someone already mentioned, inside of communities, there are tributaries for the drives and blvds. A cresent will always end up on the same road it started, a grove or a place will always be a culdesac, there are plenty of patterns. I find it pretty easy, and I appreciate that our city doesn't look like friggin detroit which is grid from corner to corner. Talk about ugly.

Well that's the problem, isn't it? To someone who doesn't have the time to learn Calgary's intricate street patterns, where's the ease in navigating around?
To be fair though, he was more relating to the street names than the patterns themselves.
You're right... complete grids are unattractive, no matter how practical. But the city doesn't need to look like a Jackson Pollock painting, either.
