Ya, there are plenty of businesses on Barlow that use it to get to the airport, car rentals, vacation businesses and hotels. Access between 16th and McKnight is a pain if your coming off of Deerfoot, so that will increase their costs. Could really hurt the hotels...if you are going down Deerfoot anyway, why not find something closer to the core? The guys that own the new hotels at McKnight and Barlow must be pulling their hair out at this point.
