The ultimate plan would be massive, but Calgary's population is also forecasted to increase by over 100,000 people in the time this portion of the road is being constructed. I'm not equating that to 100,000 more cars on the SW portion of the ring road, but as others in this thread have said, I wish the original Deerfoot planning demonstrated some sort of eye towards future growth.
Really this thread makes me curious about what planning originally went into Deerfoot and if they had an ultimate plan before someone said "nah, #### it.. let's just throw down some lanes and see where they go".
