just a heads up, from Macleod trail west is at a 5kms/hr crwal at best. Mo idea why but I'd find another route tonight. I think I've moved 500 meters in 20 min, lol.

This construction should've been completed in the summer before everyone came back from vacation. They had more than enough time. There was a span of months when no work at all was done on Glenmore, yet the weather was cooperating and traffic was light.

It's very poor planning on the City's part.

:werd: As always. The 16th Ave Widening comes to mind as well. That whole stretch is always deserted of workers during the day - but they still manage to keep lanes closed.

The other big mess up is the bridge reconstruction on bow trail...that was supposed to be open a couple weeks ago.

Although I cant speak for the roads department I know that while the city doesnt try to do road repairs with surgical precision they usually try to do the best they can given the resources/system they have. Maybe they closed it down to one lane for a day or so because if they did it step by step it would close 3 lanes down for a week.

I will say that the 50km/h construction zone speed limits are absolutely retarded half the time. Crowchild and nose hill has had a 50km/h limit for like a year now and i have only once seen a worker outside of their concrete barricaded zone. There really is no reason for it except that the temp roads they set up are so shitty that 1/2 the cars will bottom out on the bumps if you go any faster
