Honestly, you're making a mountain out of a molehill and barking up the wrong tree at the same time. There are bigger issues. If our road system can't handle the extra 1000 cars a day, there is no way they'll be able to handle Calgary's expansion in the next 10 years. Trying to reduce cars from entering the city will not only not solve the problem, it will also not address the real issue... putting it off for a more expensive and invasive (more cars diverted) 'fix' later.
It's thousands of cars, not a thousand cars. In fact, it's anywhere from 6 to 8+% of the volume (see earlier posts). And I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill, I'm 100% on topic. This thread is about commuter movement to/from Airdrie, Cochrane and other similar communities and that's what I'm discussing.
