Anyway, the lights at Lake Fraser Gate should be shut down during rush hour at the very least. Ideally they would be closed forever, and barricaded, but at least allow no left turns during rush hour! I've written about this in a blog posting months ago here: http://victorsspoils.wordpress.com/2...ft-hand-turns/
That set of lights is easily my most hated in the city. When Nenshi was running I had a conversation with him about it as well and he suggested that they would do something about it. Hasn't happened though, much to my dismay! What we need is an alderman who actually lives in the ward. Someone who travels these roads everyday with the rest of us and thus can identify these issues on their own! Instead we have someone who barely responds to constituents, let alone has the time to have a coffee and talk for 15-20 minutes.

This is must be the same idiot who put two traffic lights for pedestrians on Bow Trail west of Sarcee Tr. It total slows the traffic down while the lights cycle through. It would be a lot more efficient with flashing lights which they had before.
