There is some actual work behind what Nenshi is saying, and it's been out since before he said it. From my view, this is further along than most people probably think.

Interesting, although it seems straightforward that it would simply continue up 60 St past Saddletown and turn left at Airport Trail...they could complete the tunnel to nowhere at the same time. I'm not sure how it gets to the terminal at that point though - I imagine it would be raised (assuming underground is more $$$), but the whole endeavour seems pointless if the station isn't located centrally for both terminals. Was this planned for in the construction of the new terminal and roadways?
Not sure where the 6 stations would be?
As for ridership, it's important to remember the number of staff who work at the airport as one of the biggest user groups.
