From what I've heard it wouldn't be too technologically difficult, in fact it would be easier than the West LRT.
It better happen soon. Orleans with its hundred thousand people needs to have a decent downtown. LRT could be just the thing needed to make it happen. Normally I'd say its very difficult to create urban-style retail in the 'burbs, but Orleans is a bit of an odd one out. It's already got very high transit ridership, for example, unlike most other suburbs.
