- Hwy 901/22X/22 bypass. Adds only 12 km over 16th ave and is faster speeds; but a lot of 2 lane highway.
If the SW leg is done through the reserve, then they can work on twinning Hwy 901. That will give a proper bypass that doesn't add any distance to the trip. If nothing else, even with Hwy 901 as it is, that is a pretty easy stretch of 2 lane road; lots of room to pass and very few hills to deal with.

I'm heading through Calgary this weekend, hitting town around noon. Would Stoney Trail be the fastest way or should I just suck it up and take 16th? I am driving ~13 hours that day so the quicker the better.
