And in 10 to 13 years, they'll be putting in an overpass...just like what's at 52nd and 16th. It's a waste of money. They expect people to know to use the roundabout to go back south. So...turn right...so you can turn around and go south. It's so laughable.

It wouldn't be a waste of money since the roundabout would stick around even after the interchange was built for 16th/68st. It should also improve traffic flow for the street, making it a positive investment. Granted, that's if drivers operate it properly. But if they have a license, they should know since they are required to know how to.
Also, the original plan for the interchange was to have no access to and from Stoney Trail. It was/is intended to only be a partial interchange, with connections on the west side of it. So westbound 16th ave traffic along with Stoney Trail wouldn't be able to turn south period. Hopefully when they get around to building that interchange, they include full connections for those three roads.
