I disagree. Look at Edmonton’s LRT System. Built it primarily underground and that extra cost didn’t allow them to build out. For years the system was basically 10 stations. Even today it’s only 18 stations in the whole system.
Calgary is overdue to bury one of the lines under 8th avenue, but I don’t think it was the wrong decision for early 80s Calgary yo built at grade through downtown.
