When things work the way they are planned highways get upgraded based on traffic volume rather than local petitions or local support. Alberta Transportation has only so much money to spend every year and they can't play favourites, bumping up one project will push down another. That said it sounds like Hwy 8 has the traffic volume to justify expansion so hopefully it be done quickly. Although the construction will probably drive some people into aggressive passing as soon as they clear the zone.
