The 4 way stop was supposed to be back where the crazy 2 way stop is by Winners. By the time they tried to remove the 4 way, it was too late. They removed it and all hell broke loose. Dozens of crashes in the first few days, so they put it back.
I still think they should put a NB only entrance/exit on the western most part by Marshalls, using the off ramp for Deerfoot. The problem would be that you'd have to enforce a 50 km/h on the off ramp, which could cause issues on Deerfoot.

My understanding is the residents in McKenzie Towne fought the entrance to the Walmart. The concern being too much traffic through the residential streets. They were probably right, unfortunately.
I also agree with you on the off ramp from Deerfoot. I always though that even an entrance only access coming off the ramp would be beneficial.
