For comparison sake, it would be the equivalent of cutting of the cross quadrant routes between Glenmore Trail and Canyon Meadows. Take those away, and the whole area for traffic becomes a clusterfata.
That's what will happen without the tunnel when the area is built up. Sure, you can continue 96 Ave from Metis Trail to Stoney Trail E, but communters are still going to have to travel up to Country Hills and McKnight.
Upgrading McKnight and CHB to increase it's capacity probably will cost more then building then going with the tunnel option.
