Poor planning once again reigns supreme in Calgary's subdivision planning.
Usually access is negotiated as part of the agreement with the developer so I suspect that the original ultimate plan for Cranston was only one access. Negotiated access to neighbourhoods is why the stupid lake fraiser gate access on Mcleod exists.

Minimizing entrances to freeways is a good design practice. Each merging action slows down all of the traffic flow.
