If you use 1A, your commute times should be no more than 15 minutes from limit-to-limit.
If you move into one of the new communities on the North (forget what the community is called) or South (Fireside, I think?) outskirts off of Highway 22, that highway can be a bit of a bottleneck. Plus the merging from South 22 to 1 East to get to Calgary is terrible. 22 to 8 is a nice option if you need to go the south of Calgary that lets you bypass the city traffic coming in from the north.
It's a nice bedroom community. Not sure what your family situation is, but if you need info on stuff for the kids or want details on taxes, I can always hit up my family for some more details.

This is what concerns me, as I am looking at Sunset Ridge, which means I would need to use that Intersection. The commute to me isn't a huge deal, as I am already 25 minutes each day from South Calgary, but what I am really worried about, is getting in a traffic jam in frikkin Cochrane for 20 minutes, trying to get out of there.
