Yeah, that bugged me too, but later on they showed the 4 lanes to be a road that goes over top of the cut and cover and for the covered road to be 8 lanes.

I want to know more about plan B. Demolish some houses, give people fair market value and move on.

Exactly... It's time to get this done... Edmonton realized they had to buy and demolish houses for their LRT expansion... time to do the same here (and it's going to bring a lot more future potential).

I read in he paper that the Weaselhead is man made from 1932? If so what is the problem with the bridge other than the water contamination. Other cities had to have had this issue, just check with how they dealt with.

If its true that Weaselhead is man made then sorry birds, find a new location to nest.

based on the cross section picture in that link it shows 4 lanes each way.

It is funny to go jogging through there - we often see creepy dudes stumbling out of the forest, zipping up their pants.

What would stop the City of Calgary from placing toll booths on their borders with the Tsuu T'ina? Not to toll the natives though, they would be exempt if they had their status cards handy, but for us regular Calgarians. Suddenly, it costs $2.50 per crossing to use the casino, gas station, bottle depot, etc. After all, that casino and its non-native clientele are a big reason for why we need a new road...

Flood the reserve with Bears and Dogs, and make DESS the casino manager.

Oh, they'll sign.

Speaking of which, I could have seen a lot of potential in this thread if he was still around.
