Unless they decide to sell the land and bury the line under 50th Ave. But that's the thing: whenever and if ever that happens, the ARP as it is, will be completely irrelevant.

In general, ARPs are useless to begin with. Good and clearly written Land Use ByLaw district description eliminates any need for an ARP and resulting ambiguities of its interpretation by various stakeholders.

P.S. BTW, not many people even at the City of Calgary still remember that many years ago 50th Ave was initially intended to be an expressway/freeway connecting Deerfoot to Crowchild/Sarcee/Stoney Trails. I still think this would have been functionally excellent and design-ambitious transportation solution that would have had to include a spectacular suspension bridge over Calgary Golf & Country Club and Elbow River.
