I know that an Airport Link is something that has been talked about for quite some time as well and maybe that link would be better running from Beddington instead of Metis Trail. I wonder if they could utilize the CP right of way between Beddington Trail and Airport Trail and then run the LRT along Airport Trail to the terminal. This could also benefit all the new hotels that have been built NW of the terminal along Airport Trail and the future businesses.

I've probably complained about this before but they really should cut down on the number of stations. 21 stations in 26 km is too many.
Between 16th and McKnight should only be one station.
9th ave is questionable and with the tunnelling option a huge expense but I can see the logic in having people at the river not having to cross the river to get on the train. But having 2nd Ave and 9th ave doesn't need make sense.
72nd shouldn't be there as a single station between 64th and 96th is sufficient.
It's basicly recreating the bridlewood, shawneasy, fish creek, canyon meadows, Anderson problem where at least 1 if not 2 of those should never have been built.
The south looks Much better with only Seton and hospital likely too close together.
