What's the public transportation like there to downtown and back? Is it a nightmare or relatively good? I'm assuming I could take the train to Crowfoot and get a feeder bus from there into Tuscany. Is this going to be a very long commute for me should I move?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think there are plans to extend the LRT to Tuscany?

According to Steve Perry's LRT in Calgary website, "New Provincial funding for Municipal infrastructure was agreed to in September through the Municipal Sustainability Initative." Following Calgary's October 15th municipal elections, the new Council approved an array of new LRT projects on 6 November 2007:

• Northwest LRT Extension from Crowfoot-Centennial Station to Tuscany-Rocky Ridge (C$92 million – US$91 million) and procurement of 7 new LRT railcars (C$28 million – US$28 million).

Five stations on this line opened on September 7, 1987. From the most central to the most northwesternly, they are Sunnyside, SAIT/ACA&D/Jubilee (the station name in full is "Southern Alberta Institute of Technology/Alberta College of Art and Design/Jubilee Auditorium"), Lions Park, Banff Trail, and University. On August 31, 1990, Brentwood station was opened as a new terminus, and on December 15, 2003, Dalhousie Station was opened. An eighth station - Crowfoot - is planned to open in 2008, as well as a ninth station - Tuscany-Rocky Ridge - beyond 2023. An intermediate station near Northland Drive is possible in the future as well (between Brentwood and Dalhousie).
