The reserved Right of Way down 162nd Ave. heading west that You Need a Thneed mentions I could see being used. If not by LRT, then a lower-capacity tram line. Not likely until will after the subdivisions west of Bridlewood and Evergreen are built out though.

A bit OT, but there is a very interesting quote in the linked PDF. There is a subway planned downtown, but only for the NorthWest/South route and the SouthEast route:
Quote:
Early planning of the Calgary LRT network recognized the need to someday separate the
combined operation of the South / Northwest and Northeast lines that currently operate jointly
along 7th Avenue. Separation of these routes will eliminate delays that occur at the entry point
to the downtown where the lines must be switched onto a common piece of track. Provision has
been made for construction of a future subway under 8th Avenue S to accommodate the South /
Northwest service. The Northeast / West route will remain on 7th Avenue. Building the
8th Avenue Subway will allow for higher capacity services on both lines. Detailed functional
planning for this subway is just starting (2009) and the work will include a design for the subway
required for the Southeast line under 2nd Street SW.
