I'm sure that there would be all sorts of legal and ethical implications. Denying access or restricting/monetizing access from one jurisdiction to another opens a whole can of worms that I don't have the legal or constitutional knowledge to even speculate on.

I have heard that, as a last resort, the city would legally only have to provide access at Anderson Road. That would negatively impact the Nation's development aspirations near Glenmore and 37th. But I maintain that that's no way to treat a neighbour that has something that you really want and need, and they're under no obligation to sell. Hardball will pretty much end it all, or set us back 10 more years and Albertans will pay out of the nose even more.
