I am going to predict when all said and done, in the future that the SW section will have the lowest volume of the whole ring road. If you look at the volume maps from 2012 (newest) it shows areas of the ring road that have communities on both sides are busier than the areas that don't. The SW section will not have communities on both sides for large portions of it.

I also believe that spending that money to fix Crowchild over Bow Trail up to the university and Deerfoot between Southland and Glenmore would benefit many more people.
