The only road I can think of that might work would be Dunbrack (you could do like Calgary and put the rails in the Centre perhaps?). Willet from Dunbrack might work too, but getting the trail up the hill - probably would work better on Lacewood (grades aren't so bad).

There's actually a plan to turn part of Bayers Road into a busway.. I am not sure if this is in the 5-year transit plan or not. I also don't remember if there's a plan for a MetroLink (BRT) route to Clayton Park yet, although this is obviously needed. I think part of the bottleneck there was that the transit garage is full and located in Burnside - they are building a new one in suburban Halifax soon.
