Access At Deerfoot Extension Bridge


Recommended Posts

Sorry to bring a negative topic up here but yesterday at around 11:00 am a blue jeep pulled into the passing lane after being parked by the bridge, I had to swerve partly into the ditch to avoid hitting them or we all would be dead.

 

Point is, if we want access to the river we have to be responsible. I could be a non-fisher and take this to somebody else and the next thing we know there are concrete barriers up and nobody gets access. So blue jeep driver and anybody else who drives and parks unresponsibly around the access points, DON'T!!! All it takes is one to ruin for the rest of us.

 

Sorry for the rant. Season is finally open, gotta get out. ;)

Last fall I was heading north into Calgary, and as I cross the bridge, buddy in his shiny new Tundra pulls out onto the Deerfoot from the meridian "parking area", then proceeds to cut across both lanes over into the right parking lane where he accelerates and then pulls back out onto the road. There were several vehicles (5 or 6 of us if I remember correctly) "locking them up" in the vicinity cause of this brilliant move. Amazing no one panicked and didn't either swerve into or rear-end someone else. I'm always quite cautious as I approach that area, and find for the most part that the users are very respectful... only takes one though to mess things up.
