I don't see any slowdowns on WB Glenmore where the loop ramp to SB Stoney / Tsu Tina is (bottleneck that was discussed here recently) - that seems to flow okay now. But there has been significant slowdowns on WB Stoney at 69 Street as traffic volumes increase. The issue is WB Glenmore is 3 lanes and NB>WB Stoney is 3 lanes so a total of 6 lanes of traffic. But Stoney reduces to 3 lanes just west of 69 Street SW so we have 6 lanes of traffic funneling down into 3 lanes.

And what's with the left lane disappearing there, only to re-appear a little bit farther west? It seems quite haphazard and without warning.
I just can't understand the logic of having the left/passing/fast lane disappear briefly. Seems like a recipe for trouble.
