you could have just stopped at "I know I shouldn't make a whole new thread for this" but if there is nothing new to report then you can't force discussion. unless we want to just start posting transit fantasies... like a streetcar on it's own ROW in the inner city (along Osborne, Corydon, Broadway, Ellice, into the Exchange and over to HSC.) start with this:
http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msa=0&...bcedc8cb62d0c5 (blue is "LRT" (though it and the streetcar could use the same technology, just smaller/more pedestrian scaled/smaller trains on the streetcar route), light blue is tunneled (cut and cover under Graham, and cut and over/tunnelled for the rest) and the red is the streetcar.
