Other than the "freeflow" lane from Crow N - 16 East.

Yeah, it seems to me like it would be reasonable to close the lights at 23rd ave and make 24th ave an interchange.
They also desperately need to add another lane to Crowchild northbound where the left hand lane exits to University Drive/16th Ave. To do that it appears they'd have to convert 24th Street to part of Crowchild, which would mean they'd need to buy ~7 homes north of Sumac, and maybe another ~12 if they went south of Sumac Road also.
I also think 5th Ave could be converted to a no-turn underpass, which might be a good place to add a dedicated bike lane so cyclists could cross crowchild.
