Somerset? Why don't we just build an elevated train to High River, with a stop at Okotoks. Do you even know where Somerset is? I hardly think pointing out that the OP is going to have a lot more luck with moving closer to the core for better public transit access than waiting for a never-will-happen train is some kind of "drive by".

Somerset already has great transit access compared to most of the rest of the city - there's an LRT stop there and buses that actually run outside of peak hours. To get better transit service than that in Calgary you pretty much have to go right downtown.
