Freeway plans
Prior to the mid-1990s, the City of Calgary had always intended Edworthy Park to be a temporary park, which would eventually be replaced by an extension of the Shaganappi Trail freeway which would hook up with Sarcee Trail and Bow Trail at a major interchange that would take up most of the park's southwest. During development of the Calgary Transportation Plan (a.k.a. The Go Plan) in 1995, public opposition to the roadway led to it being removed from future consideration.[1]
