One of the biggest complaints I often hear about the city "redoing" work is with paving, i.e. Why did they pave and then come back and repave a year or two later?
Repaying is done like that out of necessity, they wait until the ground beneath has settled before putting the final layer on.
A good example of waste would be the province spending money widening the interchange in Airdrie, then, like 2 or 3 years later, demolishing everything to build a new interchange.

I understand that, but I don't understand why they couldn't just kill two birds with one stone. Get the 3 lanes done AND have a interchange completed. The little work they've done to tweak the EB to NB ramp, WB to SB, and SB to WB ramp isn't going to be there if they upgrade in the near future.
