Basically we're stuck covering their costs. 100,000+ people commuting in from outside of the city on a daily basis takes a toll (hah)

Bunk might be able to speak to this, but what is the breakdown of costs between the City and the Province on road/infrastructure projects. I seem to recall that there is usually signage and the split seems to lean more towards the Province taking on the lion's share. For example, does the City put money into the upkeep of Deerfoot? I thought that was under the Province?
Actually let's look at the latest and greatest road in Calgary: The Ring Road.
What was the cost split on this project?
Who maintains this roadway?
