Crowchild even at the current state (well, before covid!) is a lot better. I wonder whether future phases are really needed.

Yep. I'm not sure what you mean by 2 lanes, but the city's numbers for the medium term fix to Crowchild is actually even larger than what I said, $800M - $2.2B. I'll be the first to say I hate Crowchild and think it's a total joke of a road designed by morons, but at the end of the day we have to spend a limited set of money where it will go furthest. If we are to spend billions, it should go on something that makes traffic better (transit), not something that makes traffic worse (roads).
I say this as someone that uses Crowchild regularly, drives a ton and rarely uses transit. Definitely not buses.
