Really can't do that without building a basketweave. That traffic already has to merge into traffic right away, and then move another lane left by McKnight.
Here's my ideas:
Exit from NB Deerfoot to 32nd Ave - revise so that traffic using this exit has to exit at 16th, then go straight through the light there.
Deerfoot/16 Interchange: Flyover ramps for WB-SB and SB-EB. Revise at grade intersection light timings to take in account traffic pattern changes.
32nd Ave onto NB Deerfoot & NB ramp to McKnight EB: Basketweave built
McKnight onto NB Deerfoot: continuous lane until 64th Ave exit. The project in the SB lanes between 64th and McKnight increased the number of lanes from 3 to 5. The same could be done for the NB lanes.
Extra lane all along NB.
SB Deerfoot: 5th lane between McKnight and 32nd, as well as between 32nd and 16th, and between 16th and Memorial. 4 lanes under the overpasses.
Memorial onto SB Deerfoot: Basketweave
17th Ave onto NB Deerfoot: Basketweave
