The problem is that there shouldn't be a light there at all. Before there was none and traffic wasn't an issue.

Certainly there wasn't an issue coming from 24 west to Crow north. But that movement did impact other movements' capacity, like 24 west to Crow north in my experience of taking that turn occasionally.

Don't really know which thread to put this in, and while I'm not always a fan of Vox, here's a great 6 minute video released today about expanding roadways and induced demand.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, so if anyone wants good twitter accounts to follow about making great modern cities, Brent Toderian (former chief planner of Vancouver) and Jennifer Keesmaat (former chief planner of Toronto) are experts in this field.

Looks like there will be a fair bit of work at Barlow and 16th NE. They're adding a multiuse pathway as well.

Kind of surprised they aren't going to turn it into a half-clover or whatever the plan is for that interchange.

Not much of a difference but I walked through the Bow River bridge construction as well today (from Bowness Park):

SW Ring Road:

The contractor for the West Ring Road construction provides fantastic weekly updates on the activity in their work areas. Their one from today is here.
I registered for the email to come to me each week and they do a really good job of not only showing photo updates, but explaining everything that is happening in the photos. The communication team on this portion of the project is incredible and are doing a much, much better job at updates then the SW Ring Road team ever did.
I know the SW Ring Road will be complete this year so maybe they don't have the same obligations to update but I feel like they have just given up on updating any progress and some of that seems to leak into how they updated their temporary signage, lane markings, etc...I don't know how many of you have tried driving the 22X/McLeod Trail area on the SW Ring Road in the last year, but unless you have already driven it and missed your exit, trying to correctly navigate to where you want to go on the first try with their current signs and markings is near impossible.

The communication for the SW portion definitely is lacking. There hasn't been any update or clarity on the Glenmore 60 speed limit debacle between EB Sarcee/37 Street has there? I really hope that's not permanent.

Really hope some of the trails under the Stoney overpass in Bowness Park survived, probably the nicest stretch of forest in the city!
