Interesting...though isn't this option D listed vastly under-estimated (hence why we're where we are now)? It just seems hard to trust any numbers associated with this whole thing.
I'm still on the side of dedicated BRT for SE leg, and do full N leg properly as soon as possible (as is the suggestion by many informed experts, I think I've linked to in the past in this thread), but it seems this project will proceed at full steam while off the rails.
Since they're hellbent on SE rail, I'd rather it just terminated at downtown until they're ready to do the north properly, but of course then they can't connect colourful MAX lines on a map that way.
This is beyond my brain power at the moment, but I wonder if there would be any way to sink Centre St entirely under 16 Ave (or vice versa). Like the long-term plan for Crowchild at Kensington Rd/5 Ave NW...but obviously a bit tougher since it's two major thoroughfares
