The Herald had some coverage, apparently Magliocca proposed an elevated train from Airdrie to Okotoks with a stop in downtown Calgary, that ward two residents could drive east and pick up in Beddington.

Aside from not helping Ward 2 residents in any way, shape or form, it also demonstrates a surprising lack of reasonableness. Commuter rail should be the cities last rail priority, imo. Maybe once we have 8 Ctrain lines (including a ring train).
Ward two comments in general? |
Why should Calgary taxpayers fund public transit that will mostly be for the benefit of parasite communities? If the citizens of Airdrie and Okotoks want a commuter rail system that will take them into Calgary, they can pay for it (potentially with financial support from the provincial and federal governments, but certainly not from our municipal coffers).
