I mean, I guess if you wan the bridge now, build the bridge, but there isn't much point in disrupting centre. You could even use the bridge as a busway in the meantime, which would actually be useful. An LRT up to 16th is worse than useless, it's disruptive.
No matter what they build, the south LRT and the north BRT have to have a shared station. Either at 16th Ave, route the BRT over to Eau Claire, or 2nd St & 7th Ave.
