To me the underground option feels more like a vanity project and isn't actually satisfying a transit need. A green line down 10th Ave makes for some pretty easy connections to the 7th ave lines and, as you said, 350m is a pretty painless transfer. There are longer transfers within the same subway station in New York.
A 350m walk is further than the distance between many of the stops on a regular bus route.

I think the most disappointing aspect of this type of thinking is that it ignores accessibility factors. 350 metre can be a long walk for some Calgarians
