Here's the LRT system I'd like to see.

Estimated Cost: $20 billion by 2040

His blog explains phase by phase how it would be built and actually and estimate of how much it would cost. How come this kind of vision or plan doesn't exist with Calgary Transit? Without a real long term plan how do they expect senior levels of government to grab onto it and contribute significantly to funding? How do you protect for future needed right of ways beyond the planned 6 radial lines?
