The money should instead be spent on developing the "outer ring road" along Hwy 22 and 22X from SW Calgary through Bragg Creek.

Agreed... time to surround them. It's going to happen eventually anyways. We can't just keep giving them additional land and push them into Kananaskis.
If they had accepted the previous deal, we would still be building north and south of the reserve, leaving only entrances to the east of each "community" for access. That's very limiting. Might as well make a ring road wrapping the west side of the reserve and a smaller "collector" road around the north, east, south sides of the reserve. Plan for the future future, not the immediate future.
