^ I agree with basically everything that Naheed puts forward here. As a deep SW resident myself I do share his sentiment that the ring road isn't the main solution to our traffic woes.
That being said though, I don't see an idea here to help with the problem of the congestion? My hope is that his solution is the same as mine: convert Macleod Trail to a truer freeway southland drive. In other words barricade access points at Avenida, Southport Rd. etc. so that there are no lights required there, and build an overpass at 162ave. I can say that because I'm not running for council and those businesses might hate me for it, but there are no reprecussions!
