Moving the C-Train under 8th ave is the single handed biggest thing we can do to benefit Calgary Traffic! I've seen train back up 5 deep crossing from Sunnyside into downtown in the morning and things are only going to get worse when there is all that extra traffic from the west leg. The trains down 7th and unefficient and slowing down both vehicle and transit traffic. the 4 car trains idea is great and all but has anyone stopped to think that they don't fit within city blocks running north south from the NW line?! A 3 car train is end to end in between 5th and 6th ave as it stands already. Having 4 car trains means that the already backed up c-trains will back up further past Sunnyside because they can no longer wait downtown. A train has to go from the Sunnyside bridge straight to 10th street station or it'll block 5th or 6th ave.
To be honest I hadn't even heard of Jenkin's until this thread but I like some of his ideas...
