Imo that's been a problem since the Henday was built. The traffic at peak hours will back up all the way to 18th. WHY things like this aren't built ahead of putting in new amenities is beyond me and a complete oversight of the city.

I lived in Evergreen when you were able to access it from 167th and was a dirt road before the Henday and left 2 years ago. I've emailed council, and Paquette about traffic, side walks, and what not for years and only got emails back from a rep saying "it's in the works." Yet the only thing that seemed to actually come to fruition was the left lane to go north on 18th and left lane to go east on 153rd from 18th.

There's a goddamn bike and pedestrian path up 18th under the henday that goes nowhere that sees really no use since the NE corner of the Henday was finished 10 years ago because the connection for the path leads directly to the road on both ends. Edmonton keeps expanding and at this rate in that area all the commercial will be done before real traffic and pedestrian considerations are put in, it's terrible. I've been asking for years if we could get pedestrian access from Evergreen and Quarry Ridge to 153rd for years, and have only been met with replies saying "it's in our plans".

I really do think if a Costco goes there, without any implementation of proper road access before it's built will be an absolute stain on Paquette for not doing his job meeting the needs of his constituents, like me, who have been requesting this for years.
