LRT expansion does not create sprawl - it is the lack of planning around it that contributes to it. The LRT lines have to end somewhere....I am all for hubs or nodes in the city and that development should not focus on the core alone.

What I am assuming is that developers cannot just undertake a project at will. While an end line LRT station may provide an incentive to develop, it is the city who is ultimately at fault for the approval.

I really have no idea how or why you would equate "sign off on" with having a plan.
