Actually, the 2nd downtown leg is earmarked for underground between 8th and 9th avenue. All new developments along 8th and 9th avenue out to about 10th Street SW are required to have allotments for C train access whether they are stations or simply for maintenance access.
Now if you really want to talk about awaited C Train leg, the ones I'm looking forward to are the 204 North Leg and the 205 Airport Leg that would originate from the Calgary Zoo station on a new line. This would effectively connect downtown to the airport and northern end of the city. It could encourage more transit commuting from Airdrie residents who work in Calgary as well.
