I think that it would create a bit of a traffic nightmare if they opened any of it up early.
Currently Stoney ends at major highways, which can handle the volumes a bit better. 16th and Sarcee act as a bit of a pseudo ring road at the moment, and SB Sarcee at Bow can barely handle it already at peak times.
Old Banff Coach Road, 69th, etc. with all of the lights and intersections wouldn’t fare very well, and I think it would be a gong show. Once that can of worms gets opened, it can’t be closed.
