There are the speeders and red light runners that are going to run over a 3rd grader one of these days. This morning this lady (and I use the term loosely) honked, gave me the finger and rode my bumper simply because I merged in front of her on a legal and safe right turn. And of course this winter we will discover that the cloverleaf turn from 18th Street onto Glenmore westbound is wholly inadequate for the newly found volume.
Then again the real blame needs to be placed on the Council and ultimately the Roads Department for engineering the gong show that is Deerfoot between Bow Bottom and Glenmore, causing people to have to find alternatives.  |
I work in quarry park so I feel bad about the increased traffic, sadly its only going to get worse once these other office buildings and the CO-OP open. Hopefully once 24th gets finished some of the traffic will spread out a bit.
