He should probably look up destination traffic studies for Glenmore Trail before making those kind of comments. Apparently he forgot that other employment centres and major commercial pieces exist in the south end of the City, and a large amount of traffic on Glenmore Trail from Highway 8 to Barlow Trail is NOT going downtown.

I agree that there are traffic issues to be resolved, but an 8-lane, 100 km/h highway on the proposed ring road route is not the only answer. Smaller-scale improvements within the city, including adding an extra lane each way to Highway 8, putting in an overpass at Sarcee/Glenmore, and maybe putting in a smaller, 80 km/h highway on 37th, for example, would improve things considerably without having to tear up as many houses. Hwy 22 could then be expanded as the main bypass route.
