Can we get someone who knows more about this to explain it?
Because that stretch of Deerfoot at the moment is a Debacle of Monumental Proportions.

A basket weave is where the exit and entrance lanes on closely located interchanges are grade separated. Think of how the on-ramp from MacLeod/5 Street onto Glenmore is bridged over the off-ramp from Glenmore onto Elbow.
And that is exactly how the Anderson/Southland merge should be done. It was also a major screw-up on the city's part not to insist the developer of Deerfoot Meadows at least partially pay for it back when they had to help cover the other upgrades when that mall was built.
