That's too bad. It's a very real thing and we should be considering it on any road project. With that being said, the money spent on the Bow River bridge on Crowchild was extremely worthwhile regardless of induced demand.
- Lots of money was gonna be spent on rehabiliation regardless of any other changes
- It fixed the issue of one core lane going northbound through the area
- It fixed the left entrance from Bow Trail to northbound Crowchild
- It fixed the two poorly spaced exits onto Memorial
From a safety perspective it's a huge win.
