Speaking of the 17 Ave interchange, it's interesting to note that both loop ramps are being eliminated and the interchange will be worse. This is to make way for braided ramps which eliminate the nasty weaves in both directions between Memorial and 17 Ave. Looking at the map, I can't figure out exactly why the northbound to westbound ramp needs to be deleted. Overall this is a win as Deerfoot flow is more important than 17 Ave, and thankfully we have money for braids on both sides in phase 1. This design is not final, so there's a chance the loop stays.
