If the Province does make the decision to build then the City will probably be the one revising its plans instead. In any case, there's nothing to say that there can't be both LRT and commuter service.

It would be easier if the city had buy in though, and I do not have much faith in our city government making sensible decisions if they contradict their existing plans.
Who says the province is the one pushing this Banff - YYC line? It's a federal study. The UCP is ideologically opposed to anything that has even the appearance of a public good, they will have no interest in funding something like this in a time where public finances are in the shitter.
