That's kinda what I thought, thanks. There are parts of the Trans Canada in N.B. (IIRC) that are built the same way due to the wetlands there as well. With all the "build it anyway and damn the hippies" talk, it's good to know they do have a plan in place to minimize the environmental impact.

I guess no one imagined Calgary would grow so big when the reservation lands were first drawn up? Though I guess there are probably reasons their land is where it is. Too bad we couldn't just move the whole parcel a few kms to the west!
