My daughter and I were driving along Lougheed Hwy this morning and she started asking what is going on with all of the construction signs and why are the speed limit signs all covered up.  I explained to her that they are working on the interchange there and that they were making it safer for drivers, pedestrians and also bike riders. 

I thought I would check it out today and see just what they are doing.  Apparently they have a grant to do some work there but that CP Rail had squashed their original plans because they want to store longer trains in the area. So, they have come up with a new plan to lengthen the merge lane, widen the road, put in a median or two, and make the corner safer for all. 

If you want to see information on just what is going on, you can view the plan here :
