That's all very good, but these kinds of infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Calgarians all want this stuff, but flip out over $3 parking fees and minuscule levies for recycling.

These things cost money, and until Calgarians are willing to pony up, they won't get the transit or roads system, or city that they want. It also doesn't help that the province just yanks promised money for transit (the first thing to go) when times get a little tough and people don't put up much of a fuss.
