Mayor Naheed Nenshi even made rail service to Douglas Glen one of his most immediate priorities.
But city transportation managers are recommending the city's Green Trip plan spend only $10 million on southeast LRT planning.
Another $200 million from the program would go to extra C-Trains to handle out-of-town commuters coming in on new regional buses, while $750 million over the next decade would be for a comprehensive network of new, bus-only lanes and the vehicles for them.
Unless another major pool of provincial or federal cash comes in -- or unless council rejects this proposal -- southeast LRT is likely on the back burner for another decade.
