Assuming you mean Sarcee/Richmond, yes that's what the wide median is for and interchange plans are done but they widened Sarcee to 6 lanes hoping that it will be enough until west leg of Stoney is done. They'll reassess in 2025.
Deerfoot/16 Ave was not built specifically for that improvement to be made, but it is the most logical. It will likely be improved in the future as part of a big project unifying it with 19 Ave and Barlow into one connected complex. We just have no money.
Memorial/Deerfoot was not built for expansion, it will get some minor improvements when major Deerfoot work begins next fall. Rough plans are drawn for a complete rebuild making Deerfoot/Memorial, Barlow/Memorial, and Deerfoot 17/Ave into one interconnected complex, but again no money.
