I live in the area and the increase in traffic lights in the area is a headache. The "old new" one just west of Willingdon (east of Rosser) to me seems so unnecessary. You're telling me that people living in Vantage or the West side of SOLO can't walk half a block to Willingdon/Rosser to cross the street? Driving Lougheed between Delta and Boundary is a nightmare nowadays. I'm all for creating a pedestrian-friendly area, but the new lights seems like overkill.

2nd tower is located off of lougheed and alpha. I'd assume they'd have to put a new light there for residents and commercial users as the parkade entrance is just infront of the building to get into the complex. If there was only west bound access I'd assume it would cause even more traffic congestion if people weren't able to turn left (as they are travelling eastbound).
I'd love to give you guys more information when we re-open how everything is connected/linked to one another and what this project is all about. Although this is probably not going to help/interest many as it doesn't seem like many are for this master planned community....
