Here's my Blue Line extension proposal if we're still crayoning. The current plan to just extend westward through some of the lowest-density suburbs we have in this city is simply absurd.
We tend to worry so much about "potential for transit-oriented development" when we plan transit in this city - it may be time we start focusing on development-oriented transit.

It would be nice if this LRT extension were elevated down the median of 85th street. I hate excessive at-grade crossings.36th street in the NE is a nightmare.

I'd like to see at-grade LRT pick a side of a road and not go up medians. Like the Blue Line along 17th Ave and the Green Line along 24th Street and eventually 52nd Street.
 
Broadcast Ave is looking damn good! I think the Trutina's took a trip to Zagreb and saw how a proper street should look like.

Very UD looking! How's the retail side of WD compared to UD?

I think it will depend on what tennants they confirm are coming (I have heard rumour of a McDonalds as well here). There is a sign for a Big T's BBQ and another fast food style place I think on the standalone retail building, on the back of the Sobeys. What they don't have (yet) is a large beerhall type place like Banquet or Canadian Brew House, but I have a feeling that is what will end up in Radio Block, which would be awesome with views out over the park, similar to UD.
