Regarding the SW leg of the RR, I'm so happy that it's actually happening. Pretty much the worst corner of the city to be in, if you need to get to another corner. For awhile, I was living in Bridlewood, and working in Evanston, and the best way to get there, was taking Stoney, the long way around. 65km each way, every day. I would have been suicidal if I had to drive Deerfoot every day, so I shouldn't complain that I had to take the long way on Stoney, but having the West portion finished will make a lot of the jobs in the west end and the northwest reasonable to get to.
The downtown commuters will have Deerfoot and Crowchild all to themselves, and us periphery people will share Stoney with the truck traffic. It will be glorious.
