    LOL, yes, Brentwood/Collingwood/Triwood.
    Triwood is not an area... Triwood stands for Brentwood/Collingwood/Charleswood



    This after calling "Northmount" a neighbourhood.

    This is a diagram of me trying to go EB Memorial to SB Crowchild Tr Yesterday on my way to @eblend , following all the detour signs.

    Red X are the ramp closures that I encountered that have zero signage until you come up to a turn you cannot make
    First failed turn resulted in the blue route.
    Second the black.
    Literally spent 25 minutes here with all the construction traffic

    Thanks for the heads up. I used to take that memorial to SB Crow offramp pretty often. I’ll remember to come at it from further north going forward.

    That overpass is into its 3rd summer of construction if I recalled correctly since it started to screw with my biking route in 2018.

    Went through there yesterday afternoon, 80% of the traffic delay was buddy whose haircut belonged in 1986 stopping every 3 cars for literally no reason just because he could.

    Same story when you are entering Calgary on EB hwy 1 and try to take that exit to NB Stoney. Some sign jockey loves to stop highway traffic as soon as a construction vehicle even thinks about needing to cross over the ramp. It has caused traffic to back up all the way past the Valley Ridge exit.

    This guy wasn’t even doing it for trucks entering. Just walking out to stop people then walking back off. Big douche.

    "finished" they said
    "While the major upgrade work on Crowchild Trail has been completed, crews still have to do finishing work, which could include temporary lane closures." they said
    "began in the fall of 2017" they said

    who writes this bullshit

    How much over budget was this?
    No statements on the costs so it's gotta be high.
    All I see is $87M project.

    It's gonna be high. The bridge was basically in ruins. I saw a construction worker pull out rusted rebar with his hands one day lol.

    Southbound is amazing too. I don’t mind using Crowchild to head south anymore.
