I didn't read any of the links, but I am REALLY hoping that some kind of LRT parking is being kept in the picture. Brentwood is an insanely busy Park and Ride and eliminating the parking lots is going to seriously affect the LRT ridership, even with the Crowfoot (etc) park and rides being developed.
Banff Trail and Lions Park have virtually no parking at them, and it affect the usage of the LRT platforms greatly.
