I hope for that as well. I would love for the Orange Line to be connected to the Green Line at the turn from 2nd on to 12th. Go up to 4th and turn south on 4th to 17th, then west down 17th to Crowchild, surfacing as streetcar past 14th, then elevated (a la Skytrain) down Crowchild to Marda Loop, Currie, and MRU :D That would save us from having to build that proposed streetcar line to MRU from Westbrook and would connect some of the most important nodes of the city to the rapid transit network.
 
Councillors give OK to full Green Line LRT alignment
Two stations — 9th Avenue N. and at 72nd Avenue N. — were dropped from final plan

Interested to See Why Really. Wonder What Else Goes Later in Planning - if Anything. Downtown Stops. 7th Ave and What Else?
Tnx,

Initially I was hoping for a station at 9th ave, but the more I think about it, the more I think the city made the right decision. It's too close to 16th to justify the money it would cost to build it.
 
Hi Group,
So the City MADE a Decision on Monday (June 26th). Haven't Seen a Tuesday's Herald but Would B Interested so Know what They Have said if Anything.
Tnx,

Hi Group,
So the Alberta Gvmnt is about Ready to Kick in Their Fair Share of the Money to Pay for the Green Line - Like - $1.5 Billion Worth. That is a Lot Money in My Book. For that kind of Money I would like to See More Bang for Our Bucks. Honestly. With a Depressed Economy and Companies Hungry for Work/Contracts I can't help but feel those Contracts will come in a Lot Lower with Enough Funds to get more Work done. Granted I could B dead wrong here, If so, that is OK. With a Provincial Election 2 Yrs away Running back to the Gvmnt for MORE Money to Cover the Rest and Hopefully Trudope & Co Saying Yes is NOT a Sure Thing Either. What About City Taxpayers. They May NOT B in the Mood to Dish Out for More Money With the Attitudes of a Future Council/Taxpayers Who MAY Harbour Feelings of - Like Hell I'll Pay for It Attitudes. We have a Lot at Stakes so Lets Get it Done RIGHT the First Time Round. Just How I Feel About this Project.
Tnx,
