I pulled up the Google map of the airport area and something seemed familiar.... the way Calgary is being built around the airport is substantially similar to the way it was built up around Glenmore reservoir: tuck people into a pleasant little corner of town, and ignore the fact that the traffic congestion is bound to become overwhelming.
The difference is that at least you can still navigate around the airport on all sides, unlike the reservoir which is bounded on the West side by the impenetrable native reservation...well, impenetrable unless you want to spend your gambling dollars.
