Airport Trail has never been, and never will be, a major artery from the Deerfoot to the NE. In fact, CHB always has been that major road, and I know for a fact that it is being widened to a four lane commercial major as we speak.

So is there another issue here?
CHB is proposed to be a major road, that's a four or six lane road with lots of lights. Airport Trail is supposed to be a limited access expressway.

CHB as a road with many lights will not be able to handle the traffic that it needs to if Airport Trail is not there. It will have to be a limited access expressway. Seriously, when everything is developed, there's going to be a lot of traffic that will want to connect to the NW/Deerfoot Trail, and it'll be a nightmare to try and do that.
