I figured the nightmare that is Airport Trail/60 Street and the weirdness that is 60 Street / 88 Avenue was a temporary thing and at least that would be fixed once the LRT was extended. Now you've got me worried!

Also, it seems weird that they are putting a station at 88 Avenue (at least I think that's the plan). That is so close to Saddletowne.

The 88th Ave station was always going to be the more major park and ride station as well. Could even get a mini parkade.

Saddletwone doesn't have a lot of parking - and the future stations to the north don't have much room for park and ride.
