As a UofC alumni that lived at about the same latitude as the U but had to make a huge U on the CTrain to get there, there are some merits for a northern cross. A much larger pool of potential users would be the numerous employees of businesses located in the NE that live in the NW.

In my personal opinion, I believe that the 16th Avenue widening should have added a two-lane busway rather than two lanes for mixed-traffic.
