I do believe the right of way has been purchased and set aside, including space in downtown Calgary for the station (near 4th street SE along the CPR lines if I am not mistaken).

Edit: Details on the downtown station location, from Chris Ollenberger who was the first head of the CMLC that is developing the East Village:

"It's at 5 street and 9th ave SE in East Village. Loading and access for travellers off 9th ave. Links to SELRT at same station as well. That's why 5th street is different pavement pattern for peds in East Village."
