View from the Capilano Bridge on Wayne Gretzky Drive. As an aside I would like to see roads named after actual heroes rather than sports heroics. As a further aside I always thought that some small town somewhere could gain some recognition by holding some kind of contest where the winner would get a street named after them.
I lived close to Edmonton for about twenty years. It was fine then. I do not like going there now. Edmonton is a pain trying to get a lot of places on a north/south basis. It is getting better. What I dread about going there is the unreal amount of road construction. If they ever finish it should end up looking like a nice place.
It's true -- there's been such an influx of people to Edmonton over the past 20 years that streets have MUCH more traffic than they used to.
ReplyDeleteYup. But now, with the economy diving - there's a lot of people leaving too.
DeleteI don't understand it: during the boom Edmonton was relatively easy to get around and Calgary was friggin nuts. Now that we are in recession Edmonton is a pain to navigate - has Calgary improved BW?
Budgets and planning are set years into the future. Calgary is not bad as long as you have a clue where you are going. Construction is not as bad. Just avoid the Deerfoot at rush hour.
