It's entirely possible. People may start taking 52nd to Glenmore and bypassing Deerfoot. I have a feeling it's going to screw up traffic patterns at first as people adjust/try different routes, but in the end it should help spread the traffic volume out a bit.
My biggest concern is more congestion on an already congested 130th ave. There's 4 or 5 sets of lights in a pretty short span. It could potentially get pretty backed up during rush hours.
Overall I'm really happy about this as I live "deep" into Copperfield, so instead of driving South before I can go North I can cut straight over. Once it all settles down it could save 5-10 minutes of commute time each way for me.
