I'm not familiar with how these things work with different levels of government, but is it possible that the province basically said "we're opening early - deal with it"?
I think that the city would've preferred that the ring road opened fully in 2024 instead of this partial opening, simply because of the ripple effect on city roads.
Of course, it is nice to see some progress that we can drive on. But I'm not convinced that there is a net benefit to the early opening if commutes on Bow, Trans Canada, and others, are longer and more frustrating.
I remain concerned about WB Trans Canada to NB Stoney. If I were still commuting home on that stretch, I'd probably start seeing a lot more of Bowness...
