I believe that there was also a plan to extend the south part of Sarcee through Bowness, over the river, through Bowmont Park, to connect with the prematurely-named north part of Sarcee.
Perhaps the planning of the the eventual ring road made that connection redundant, which was a big win for Bowmont Park. And now we have two Sarcee Trails that will never connect to confuse outsiders (though everyone uses GPS now anyway).
