You want smart design and construction then you have to pay for it. Calgary went with at grade for its LRT due to the increased cost of dealing with a high water table and heavy clay soil. Basically, if you wanted an LRT underground with the same amount of money then you wouldn't have the Blue line; only the Red line.
