Here's the Tsuut'ina Crossing development planned for Southland and 90th. Doesn't exactly scream 'free-flowing traffic' to me. Certainly not the Southland stretch, and Southland will be the main feeder onto the ringroad for that part of the city. So all those cars from Oakridge, Palliser, Pump Hill, Braeside, and Cedarbrae heading to the ring road will be funneled through a business and commercial park, then make a left turn at lights, then merge onto the ringroad. It's going to be an absolute ####-show at rush hour.
There are two more commercial districts being planned for where Anderson and Glenmore connect with the ring road. The whole design is meant to maximize business opportunities for the Tsuut'ina, at the expense of free flowing traffic. This could have all been avoided if the NIMBYs in Lakeview didn't put the kybosh on a road on city land directly over the Weaselhead.
