The WB off of Palliser? I agree, it's not ideal, but can't see them changing it. The town is about traffic calming, of late. And some of that vacant land you speak of that's east of town, on the south side of the TC1, is actually owned -- with the intent for development.
What's really needed are animal crossings, especially for the Elk. Fortunately not often, but Elk, in the evening will congregate in the median of the TC1.
There is one on the horizon, but one for Canmore proper, and another for 3 Sisters would be a start.
