I don't support your second sentence at all, but the first is a major concern. I have no idea how the city can continually gear up for more development south of Fish Creek when there is one way across and absolutely no political will to build another way across.
Saying this is "transit oriented" is also laughable. I suppose its "c-train oriented" because these people are sort of close. Theoretically people could walk from these new residences to the train, but in all honesty we're talking about a pretty long walk here for some of the people. Add to that the fact that there are really no close services/amenities for these new residents (ie. grocery stores, drug stores, etc.) and you have a whole lot of new cars with nowhere to drive anywhere easily.
