Can anyone old enough to remember describe, or if anyone has any pics of, what Calgary (and highway traffic) was like before Deerfoot Trail?
I read up on a preliminary study on 4 feasibility options for Deerfoot, basically, it was mostly the same until you got just past the calf robe bridge, and then south it had 3 other designs (being more easterly) then it currently is. I can remember one of them being about where 18th st SE is now, and running through, I think, Queensland, so, kind of far east to what it ended up being. I think the costs had more to do with land purchase than anything else.
I'll have to see if I can find that copy I ready in the archives at work...
