Sarcee Trail
Sarcee Trail is a major super-4 expressway and trunk road in Calgary, Alberta. It is divided into two portions, one in the south end of the city, and one in the north end of the city.[1] Originally planned as one continuous route, plans to connect the two halves have been shelved as it would involve the demolition of homes in Bowness. The urban arterial road is named for the Tsuu T'ina, who were also known as the Sarcee.
