So the issue with elevated is the slope. I mean, I'm a Nenshi guy but you can always elevate it before getting to 4th Street SE station and go over the CP, isn't it already elevated in Inglewood Ramsay? And you could also just go under the CP tracks.
It's elevated over Blackfoot and 26 Ave station, but essentially comes to grade for Ramsay station (as 12 St already kinda trenches underneath).
It feels like there should be a grade advantage as it crosses the Elbow, but it does not relative to the CP tracks. I think the heavy tracks might even be a meter or so higher than what feels like flat street level running parallel on either 9 Ave or 11 Ave.
But I'd way rather an interim terminus in the beltline anyways, as it gets you pretty much as close to 7th Ave as any early crossing in the east would, while keeping your options open for a permanent solution.
