Every time I take the scenic/main route out of Tuscany, I tell myself that am doing it for the greater good re: weaves.

But it honestly is better with fewer weaves, even if it takes me a little longer personally. I even recall that when Crowchild and Stoney was in the planning stages, there was a group that wanted the Rocky Ridge Road / Crowchild intersection to remain somehow, maybe as a right-in, right-out, despite being very much in the way of the eventual SB Stoney to WB Crowchild ramp.

If I remember the details correctly, the province even humoured them by saying "sure - let's see what the armchair engineers can come up with" and invited them to provide some input. Then built it properly anyway.

Obviously there was no real alternate option that would keep the ramp safe at speed, no weaving, the future LRT station, etc.

I'm OK with Stoney proper being the priority, with more space between ramps.
