1) DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY TO PUT THE TRAINS UNDERGROUND. I'm here in Edmonton, where downtown LRT lines are underground. It cost so much money the trains don't go anywhere. Imagine if you're entire LRT system went from Downtown, to Erlton, possibly Chinook. That's what we have in Edmonton. This city would be miles and miles ahead if they had expanded the LRT the way Calgary has.
2) I don't think they can put it underground downtown - without costing billions. My understanding is that the reason they didn't put it underground in the 80's was because Calgary's water table downtown is too high. Edmonton's downtown is a few hundred feet above the river, whereas Calgary is right at river level. That was the reason it was scrapped - not because of being concerned about Edmonton's problems.
3) Bronconnier is a tool and should be punted out of office.
