City Hall closed May 3rd 2010. One side was opened permanantly at the start of Stampede and the other side wasn't opened permanantly until a couple weeks ago.
11th Street doesn't have to deal with an active transit corridor running through the middle of it, but I'm not optimistic it will be open such that the entire West line can open early.
Transit will need a number of weeks and possibly as long as, say, 3 months to test the line and that can't happen until the track and electrical work connecting the West LRT to the rest of the system is in a state where it can be used to get trains through for testing. That connection point is at 11th Street.
