It was a comment like "oh- you actually calculated it?" Most of the other vocal people there were throwing out Rick Bell quotes and saying things like "Silly Hall"; and not grasping the difference between the provincial run roads like Deerfoot and the Ring Road; and city run roads like Glenmore or Crowchild.

Once the crowd cleared a bit he did go into more of the detail. Part of the problem is that the bridge where Glenmore goes under Deerfoot can only handle 2 lanes each way of through traffic, so it would involve some sort of flyover. And that if any flyover gets built on Deerfoot it would be at Bow Bottom/Anderson/Southland first- to which I agreed.

He did say the NB Deerfoot to WB Glenmore flyover was on the 20 year plan; however this guy looked like he was about 15 years away from retirement.
