Cloverleaf interchanges allow for continuous traffic feeding onto a road in.
Macleod trail could not accomodate a continuous flow traffic feed at that location due to its proximity to Fish Creek Park (limited build space), the location of Bannister Road and the need to provide a southbound access point to it and the proximity of the James McKevitt Road exit in relation to Canyon Meadows Drive. Factor in everything and there was neither the room nor the capacity for a cloverleaf interchange.
