Sarcee Trail, Barlow Trail, 37 St SW, I'm sure there are a few other prominent ones? Is Calgary somewhat unique in this regard?
Well, the numbered roads are just following the old grid. The named ones usually have a story. IIRC, Barlow used to be one road but got broken up by Deerfoot Trail. Sarcee was supposed to be one road, but as already noted, city planners seem to enjoy doing stupid things in NW Calgary.
