To be fair, I would consider myself a bit of an armchair Stoney Trail geek. I went to every open house, and have PDFs hanging in my garage that were printed over 5 years ago. And I missed that in that spaghetti that is Deerfoot/22X that there would not be access to Cranston and McKenzie Lake. I even have friends in Cranston and thought I had the new route traced out.
I think people have a right to be upset. As a community that borders the new roadway they get the extra traffic but not the access. And as psicodude said earlier, even not having direct access to the hospital is mind blowing. Yes, I took 52nd to Seton yesterday and right now it isn't bad. But before shovels go into the ground for the SW portion that route will have traffic lights and cross traffic.
