I would even say that in 20-30 years is when we are going to be greatful for it. Looks at the ring road proposal from the 1960s. Basically it had a freeway that would have gone Blackfoot to Anderson to 14th/Crowchild and the John Laurie Blvd. Could you imagine if that had been built how much better traffic would have flowed?
Or if they had built the 8th ave subway instead of 7th ave for C-trains? Or elevated the 36 street NE line?
The other thing they maybe should have done was an airport tunnel for 64th ave back in the late 70s.
I'm sure there are other projects we could identify that could have been done better if they had been thought out further in advance. Good job on the part of our current city council to get it done where the previous council failed.
