There is no surplus ROW on 85th. There would need to be a reduction in traffic lanes to accommodate an expansion of the C-Train up there. The clear and obvious solution is to just fund the route 98 to run at a 5 minute frequency. It would cost a fraction of what extending the C-train up here would cost, and be just as effective.

The Route Ahead Report on page 122 shows right of way for the extension to 85 St station at the intersection of Aspen Hills Dr and Aspen Stone Blvd. This doesn’t open the door for an additional station to the north in the community of West Springs. Perhaps the only alternative is to head west from here, and that would put it west of Stoney: highly unlikely, at any time in the next few decades.
