I think the bigger problem will be when development jumps the ring road to the west of 101st and all those residents have to take Bow...

There's some other options west of 101 - 17th to upper and lower Springbank Roads. Plus, there's a bunch of unstarted developments already approved west on Hwy 8, and the reason IMO is that there's no money to do it cost-effectively. Also the existing landowners - mostly acreages - fight hard against anything with more density. Remember this is all Rockyview County and not Calgary.
Almost 1/4 of the land just west is also taken up by cemetary/golf course land.
