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.

Because the reserve caps growth, the SW ring road will have the lowest immediate population, absolutely. But the suggested realignment of Highway 1 to skirt the city rather than run through 16th Avenue would make this a terribly vital link of Canada's east-west transport corridor. Finishing Stoney is a necessary project. And unlike Crowchild and Deerfoot (but a lot like the Airport tunnel) is a time limited one. No matter how hard Druh rattles her bike chains, she can't stop this without causing long-term damage to the entire region's ability to move people and product.
