Maybe one day MRU could be accessed by a run-off or a glenmore line but as of right now, considering there are alternative public transportation to MRU, the cost seems excessive.

You could probably have it just as an off-shoot from Shagannappi to start. where trains go and just come straight back. From there it could become a connection that goes from MRU to Chinook along Glenmore.
The excessive cost depends on your view of the necessity of decent public transit. I think for a million + city, with outlying commuters, 3 major post secondary institutions and a problem of urban sprawl, that decent transportation options are necessities. I would rather see money spent on that then more huge overpasses for Stoney, or a stadium for that matter.
