Never planned due to weave distances. The traffic light there does indeed give false hope, but it's just a requirement for the spec that northbound has what appears to be a full set of lights even though they're always green.

That would create a pretty nasty weave that is no longer acceptable. We no longer build interchanges like this ever on freeways. Henday/Whitemud is kind of an exception but has collector/distributor roads that move the weaving off the mainline.
Weaves are why Deerfoot sucks, period. On Stoney and Henday they decided to just nuke entire movements instead of recreating the abomination of Deerfoot.
