For years people have screamed at the stupid designs in Deerfoot that have created critical pinch points and insane weaves in traffic that bring it to it's knees - so when the two biggest roads in town merge and the designers make the decision to not make those same 2 mistakes, people rage like they've outlawed lattes.
Does it suck for those using the ring road and wanting to exit to Cranston? Sure it does, but as many other have stated, there are other options and life will go on smoothly.

Nope, I don't want another Southland/Anderson and stated that I accept the reasoning as Acey so clearly pointed out. I'm just angry because I assumed Stoney Tr. was going to solve all of life's problems for me. You know, downtown in 8 minutes, make me better looking, etc. I'm also angry that the rest of the city is just brushing it off as a bunch of latte sipping yuppies whining, when I believe we have a legitimate, albeit impossible to fix, gripe.
I need someone to blame, but aren't sure who is at fault. Is it the developer for putting the overpass so close to 22X, the province for telling them to put it there, or the city planners for not knowing how huge the Stoney/Deerfoot interchange would be?
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the angry dome.
