Currently 36 st is a 2 lane paved road (according to google maps - maybe this has changed).
As its currently agreed, Airport trail must end at 36 St - yes? Unless 2 interchanges are built at 19 and Barlow, Airport trail cannot be extended past this to Metis or to its logical connection at 60 St NE.
I cant say I am a frequent driver of 36 Street north of 32 Ave but unless some serious upgrading has been done, 36 St north of McKnight is a 2 lane road (I guess we can be thankful that its at last paved).
I am sure the tunnel will be used by at least a few cars an hour in its current configuration, I will drive through it when its done just to do so but as a condition of the airport (this is why I call them duchey) it cannot be extended to its logical connection at 60 St.
