Clearly a +30 would only hurt the Lakeview residents through increased traffic noise but I share your sentiment. It's a democratic result and we need to move on from it.
I'm worried that the City and Province will take the no vote as a rejection of the deal (see the Alberta Liberal Leader's comments) or the route or something and return to the bargaining table. It's too bad but a freeway that runs along the 37th street route seems to be the only option that's left. It's just really ugly to try to put one there given the proximity to the community combined with a tight 90 degree turn from Glenmore.
I think that the reserve will find the expense of building an on-off-ramp to their shiny new casino will be more than they bargained for.
