Seems a lot better to me. Stoney trail may not be perfect, but a lot of congestion just got lifted off of 16th ave and other streets.

Hell, when I want to leave town going East now, this road will save me at least 20 minutes.
Also, if they didn't have those lights, drivers would simply drive right off the road.
