EDMONTON - The Stelmach government has pledged another $420 million to Alberta's oilsands capital to alleviate traffic problems and other woes, as the Conservatives keep priming the provincial cash pump for good-news announcements before an election campaign kicks off.<br />

Most of the money will go to build interchanges on two of the city's busiest intersections on Highway 63, and the rest to school upgrades, wastewater treatment, a landfill and prisoner holding cells.<br />
