2nd Street at 7th/8th Ave will be our "Grand Central" though, underground.

2nd Street at 7th/8th sounds good. From what I understand there is a tunnel/provision for a station under Banker's Hall already.
Our city had put too much reliance on building out the bus network and serving areas via bus and the road network instead of effectively planning a more efficient, albeit costly, LRT/Subway system.
I think an outer loop LRT needs to be planned similar to the ring road. I outer loop would tie the airport to Tuscany via Airport Trail/96 Ave and Country Hills to Stoney, run down the Ring Road from Tuscany through Winsport to MRU/Rockyview, down 14th Street to Shawnessy and the over to the SE (Seton.) The SE can be connected to the Airport going up Barlow/36th or up 52/68th.
