It has no passing lane, mixed speed limits and is being increasing used by big transport trucks as a bypass to the south of the city. It is a "death trap". JUST COUNT THE CASUALTIES IN THE PAST 15 YEARS!! If not twinned in thE near future, big truckS should not be allowed!!!!

I have witnessed many, many close calls along that highway, as I use it regularly. Twinning, and more turning lanes, will provide a safer driving environment. Adding the trail while the road is being widened will save on the trail costs and provide a safe alternative for cyclists, equestrians and pedestrians.

Both my husband and I have felt that our lives and our young children's lives were threatened on several occasions due to the unsafe passing of motor vehicles on this highway. Twinning this highway will allow vehicles to safely pass one another and prevent fewer head on collisions and deaths.

Something needs to be done immediately for our safety. Twinning the highway is an obvious solution but also redirecting truck traffic to assigned routes would also help the traffic and the noise along this corridor. The deaths on the highway are significant and the numbers certainly prove it over the period of time we have lived at this address. What is it going to take to do something about the mear volume on this highway with an under developed road and the amount of deaths that will continue to happen? This needs to be addressed and residents of Calgary and the Springbank Community are tired of waiting.

Increased residential development and truck traffic on that corridor can no longer be safely supported by a single lane highway.

There is no reason for tractor trailers to shortcut through Hwy 8/Glenmore Trail to get to Deerfoot any longer. This requires signage only at a minimal cost.

It is a major highway used by many large semi-trailers and huge trucks traveling at high speeds, yet is designed for minimal traffic. There is no where to escape an on-coming vehicle who could lose control. Many people have lost their lives because of it. Every year there are more tragedies and every time we drive it we pray we are not next. Very sorry to hear about the two young men who recently were killed. How long can this problem be ignored? PLEASE TWIN HIGHWAY 8.

No ring road..so the big semis come from Hwy. #1 and go down Hwy. 8--wrecking havoc on our roads which require maintenance. I have seen people passing, crossing the yellow line and talking on cells while they are driving on a two
way Hwy!! the intersection at Hwy 8 and 101 is worse than drive in a Third World Country. There will be more deaths. I still have one child in high school and if anything happens to him on these roads...I will sue for government negligence!!
