We really have to stop soliciting so much feedback from progress-stoppers on project proposals. There's nothing you can do to make them happy. Push forward and let them squawk on the sidelines.

You are trying to destroy what makes the park the park. There aren't hundreds or thousands of valleys that provide a North South corridor through the mountains. Look at a map and see why the bow valley corridor through the icefields to jasper was used to build a road and compare that to other routes.
Then assess how blocking the easiest corridor will affect wildlife. Then realize you don't care if Grizzly Bears get hit buy trains or relocated to BC and shot by hunters as long as you can have a latte and a selfie.
The park is not too full. Go to Yosemite or Zion if you want to see too full. The natural attractions of the park are not getting bigger so more towns is not reducing the crowding at Lake Louise, Johnson Canyon, or the ice fields. Its not reducing crowding at every viewpoint on the way.
The act of staying in a town is not why people visit Banff.
