No to North LRT! Trams can do better for less
Here is the city's long term plan for future C-Train Expansion. The North LRT is particularly problematic since the proposed route travels through largely unpopulated areas for most of its length. The addition of LRT stations, parking facilities and the rest of the infrastructure the LRT requires will all but ruin whats left of Nose Creek.
A much better alternative would be to take the money destined to build the LRT (~22 km) and instead use those funds to complete a north Calgary tram network (Edmonton Tr./Centre St. Loop (12 km of two way track); 20th Ave Connector-Edmonton Tr. to University (5.3 km), a Bowness/University line (9.2 km) and the 10th St./Northmount/Dalhousie line (10.2 km)) for about the same price.
