I laugh because the argument was that there wasn't enough land to do the interchange properly and maintain 100km/h speeds on Stoney. Meanwhile they have no hesitation nuking Glenmore down to 60km/h, or working around those limitations at 16th Ave by building 1,200 flyovers. Apples and oranges for sure, but illustrates the point.
There obviously was a solution to it, either in speeds or throwing more $$ at it, but they chose the cheap option that will clearly have to be rebuilt (its already a cluster-fata let alone with additional pop growth slated for the area).
