Yeah, 132 avenue is really critical to the provincial road network. /s
The scale of stupidity on display here is honestly humbling. He's talking about a 2-lane residential collector road. It's literally 5 blocks away from a freeway the city just spent a billion dollars expanding. Don't know how to merge? No problem! There's an 8-lane monstrosity with traffic lights 5 blocks in the other direction. As you can see, the road network in that area is already massively overbuilt. The concern over losing driving lanes/parking spots is ridiculous in general, but to try to apply it to this road is so preposterously disingenuous, it verges on parody.
I would also like to add that the province of Alberta withheld over $100M in disaster relief from Jasper because the town wouldn't commit to building single-family detached housing. Just to give you an idea of how far they're willing to go to own the urban libs.
