Even in the city's previously approved solution you'd arrive 2 floors down and roughly 200 meters away from a WB transfer.

200 meters is better than 350m. 350m is better than 700m. Underground is out of the weather. but i believe we are talking about sidewalks and crosswalks to make the connection from one line to another. That will indeed be difficult for some.
When designing transit, it wise to consider the end user. There are Calgary Citizens who can take the LRT and there are Calgary Citizens who MUST take the LRT as they have no options. it doesn't have to seamless... but it certainly should make the effort.
