This is something that I dislike about discussions involving Calgary's transit - the assumption that all trips are going Downtown, and that transit should only deal with downtown travel.
What if these people living in this neighbourhood want to go to the theater in Chinook, or shop in Inglewood, or Sunnyside, or if they want to take the train to go to the airport, what about that? I'm not suggesting build big, expensive lines just to satisfy those trips, but people using the 9th st station will certainly be going more places than just "downtown", and if it is not built, you may see less use of the train system as a whole outside of rush hour times.
