My whole point was that you can't design a road for rush-hour volumes, because it doesn't make sense for the volumes on the road the other 22 hours a day.

But wasnt Deerfoot designed when the population was MUCH smaller than it is now? I'm sure that it was designed bigger than needed at that particular time. As the city grows I would think they would need to plan for the future and expand it. What was satisfactory 20 years ago would not work today. And even though it may be adequate now wouldnt they be planning for the next 20-30 years?
I have no idea what is involved in this but it seems to me that they wouldnt just be thinking of whether it is adequate during no-rush hour at this point. I would want to hear they are thinking more long term than that.
