The NE does not have the political clout with city council, either now or when the LRT was put at ground level on 36th Street.
I think the reason it doesnt have the clout is because it doenst have the votes. Looking at a map of Calgary I think I would be generous in thinking that 10% of the people live there.

Also the CTrain is above ground everywhere in Calgary so I dont see how it being above ground in the NE is any different.
