We've all known for some time that Calgary is one of the most sprawled cities in the world, this is not new. (Though you should see Melbourne, WOW!) Can't really dis Suzuki for telling us the sky is blue.
We've been lucky to have more land around us, but now is the time to start building up and in, and creating a much larger train system (among many other helpful suggestions people have offered in this thread). Calgary is going to continue to grow quickly for at least the next 50 years, so the extra land and space is going to come in handy. We need to get some infrastructure down like more mass transit, and plan for those next 50 years.
