If any of you have ever biked on Old Banff Coach Road between 85th and 101 Street you will probably know how sketchy that part of the road is - potholes, no shoulder, etc. The city was putting off fixing it but finally are acting on the safety concerns of many cyclists and plan on paving it in August. Great news!

I was using that route last week, running Stampede band to and from Springbank. I was wishing I was on the bike because the truck was heaving and bucking like a mad beast.
Awesome

That area is a craphole, but there's not many alternatives, especially if you want to ride the very, very nice descent/climb on OBCR. I'm a little worried about the "ring road corridor" comments in there -- anyone know what that means? Is it going to become Stoney Trail south??
