Fuggin' despise the UCP and Danielle Smith, but I do love the support for the airport connection. If ridership numbers support doing so, pair it with an Olympic bid (which is something the Chamber just released in supporting as part of downtown's revitalization) and get the feds to help pay for the connection too as part of the bid. Anecdotal, but I know whenever I go to the airport, I'd be taking the train if so and same with pretty much everyone I know. May be one of those 'if you build it they will come' scenarios.
Absolutely love the SKyTrain in Vancouver - it's the only way I travel into and around Vancouver now. So jealous they have that system available anytime.
