I have two words to say regarding Edmonton traffic: Yellowhead Trail.

Worst road in the province, by far. If you also want an experience, try to get into, and out of South Edmonton Common at about 5:00. Edmonton has traffic every bit as bad as Calgary, its just in different locations. Edmontonians are fortunate if the traffic into their downtown isnt as bad, however.

As far as Calgary's planning goes, That Future LRT map must be the "1000 year plan", because iirc, the SE leg isnt supposed to be complete for 30 years, nevermind the west and north legs. Not to mention that by the time that comes to pass, the routes will have to be extended into Cochrane, Airdrie, Strathmore and Okotoks, since the city will have expanded into those communities.
