Good luck to them. I'm sure some may see it as being ambitious, but it's probably a good time to start the studies and planning and securing right of ways and such, as well as priming future development and growth. Waiting too long and you are threading through much heavier developed communities which costs a lot more.

Sydney feels spread out enough that a Light rail feels like it would be a good fit. Halifax should probably have one as well, but they've obviously helld off on the planning until its too late and much more difficult to do.

Moncton and Saint John could probably be doing some LRT studies at least to start planning some routes (especially Moncton to thread it through downtown while its being revitalized).

Freddy would be difficult to do one, since the core is so compact and at the bottom of the valley and split by the river. We'd need a rail crossing at a minimum that could be used which would probably delay any LRT plans up here for decades.
