Can't say I like the station placement, if this is going to be elevated then they can scope the eau Claire station back in, four elevated stations would cost about the same as one underground.

As is, 2st should move a block south to integrate better with the subway that should get built at the same time. And 10av could move 2 blocks east for better spacing.
 
So...they're just trotting out the exact same renders from the AECOM report we got over 13 months ago with graphics slapped on them that say: Noise and Vibration! Property Impacts! Safety! ????? And the engagement is super broad and just fishing for complaints instead of focusing in on things like station access details...

Not sure what I was really expecting, but I thought there'd be at least something resembling advancement. Seems like this should have happened by last summer, or at least November if they wanted to wait until after the election...
 
I'm really not sure why the stations need to be so contained in such a massive structure.

Between the multiple levels of station boxes, they seemed to take an underground station footprint and just bring it above ground.

It looks way too long. I think the GL is two car trains? That looks like it can fit 4?

Two 42 m Urbos (plus whatever is needed for a coupler) (if these don't auto scale, they should be proportionate)
