whenever there is heavier rainfall
- Main entrance / exit from Royal Oak - Royal Birch Boulevard was flooding badly at 5am when wife was leaving for work - police officer was there at that time to warn people leaving community.
By time I drove to office close to 7:30 i saw some cars stuck, and I took other exit out via Country Hills.
Hopefully there will be relief by the late afternoon when folks begin to come home from work day.
Yet another reason why the lrt planning & stoney trail exits which closed a main exit / entrance to both communities off of Crowchild trail did not take things into consideration... & yes I'm aware of the excuses regarding how tramps etc needed to be built a certain way due to distances.
Just IMHO not a lot of foresight when closing roads to communities that had access for over 15 years - notwithstanding what was always on the plans once LRT & Stoney were going to be built.
Yep I'm also aware of other communities with even less exits which again is not very good planning IMO.
