City urged to revisit north-central LRT route




By Sherri Zickefoose, Calgary Herald March 21, 2012

Calgary commuters longing to ride the rails of the north-central LRT will be waiting until 2014 to learn where the route may go.


The city is revisiting planning ideas for a long-awaited LRT route Wednesday. But instead of running commuter trains along Nose Creek - an idea that received a cool reception last year - it's back to the drawing board.


City hall is being urged by administrators Wednesday to give planners until the end of 2014 to study route planning and ridership projections, and get the public's input.


Calgary Transit is recommending a more central alignment involving either Centre Street N. or Edmonton Trail N.E.


[...]


The price tag for the north-central LRT leg is unknown, but it would likely cost billions to reach the city's northern boundary.
