The General thesis being - why let a maintenance facility drive a $4.5b decision?Have options in the North for a maintenance facility been exhausted? Ridership should be strongest factor. North can be built less expensively to its full length and potentially still could enable improved BRT in the SE (to build ridership, which is much lower currently than the north).
That link is requiring a facebook login, so I didn't see it... Does it say that the north leg would have higher ridership than the south? I'm a southie, so I know what it's like down here during rush hour, and it seems a bit lopsided to build a third leg in the north before a second one in the south. The SE is ridiculous. Deerfoot is a gong show. I know it's bad up north as well, but I kind of think that the south and north legs would probably be close to equal in ridership, so all things being equal, the south needs a second line before the north needs a third.

Hope I didn't just set off a north/south civic war.
