Unless you're along Centre, you can't have SE & SW streets intersect.  I don't think there would be two stations downtown? |
There will be one, but the question is where makes sense. The province owns a good sized parcel land near 10th Ave and 4th St SE as a 'keeping the options open potential station' for high speed rail. There is of course the old intercity rail station at Centre Street (which would require cooperation with Aspen Properties), and the terminal which previously was used for the Royal Canadian Pacific between 2nd St and 1st St SW.
Adding in airport service complicates things a bit if you want through service to Banff and terminating services.
