If Calgary wants to be a world class city they need to continue to develop the LRT and continually reinvest in public transportation. The costs associated with this development are going to continually rise in the future due to higher material cost and higher labour rates and it is something that every study says we need to invest in - so why would we cut funding now, seems penny wise and pound foolish.
Actually that phrase can be used in order to describe a lot of the Wildrose "plans" I think.

I hear you on this but don't think the province should be paying such a large share for certain infrastructure items.
Perhaps if let's were being built instead of shelving the plans to build tunnels id have a different opinion.
