Nope. Gateway Blvd. is a relatively recent (8-10 years somewhere in there) change. It was previously Calgary Trail North / South until a few on Edmonton city council just had to change it to reflect Edmonton's status as the gateway to the fast growing and economically important 'north' (read Fort McMurray). Companies along the renamed route were up in arms due to the imposition of costs related to new signage, administrative registrations, and the like. Good old Edmonton.
