And I think it's not a matter of if, but when, some cyclist gets killed.

This highway should absolutely have a separated bike path (along with all of Calgary's surrounding communities). Bragg Creek is a beautiful destination to visit by bike.
Rocky View actually drew up plans for one years ago and there is a utility right of way that would cover most of the distance, but there has never been anyone pushing to get it built and sorting out the remaining land use issues.
