Rail to Banff, a return of Via rail, and commuter rail to the satellite communities can do with agreements and upgrades to the current surface heavy rail corridors. Land for station locations in Edmonton and Calgary and some right of way has been purchased by the Province of Alberta for a high speed rail line.

If HSR isn't viable, I wouldn't mind either a dedicated autonomous car lane on the QEII (covered, maintained to maximize sensor safety), or possible adding the Boring Company's high-speed tunnel technology applied at ground level (moving cars on "skates" on a track; this is "Loop" technology, not "Hyperloop").
