Many years ago PCP (PanCanadian Petroleum) was looking at doing a campus workplace down around Mount Royal College/University (I believe where UFA and Brookfield buildings are.) I was working at PCP at the time as student and I remember the various studies and open houses that they did. At the time, there were a lot of unhappy people with that plan especially folks that did not live near the area and used public transit. A big concern was the lack of efficient transit serving the area and obviously the traffic concerns with Glenmore Trail and Crowchild Trail.
Looking back, it would have been a great idea especially when I was living in Marda Loop but traffic would have been a disaster.
