You are correct. Putting a grade separated line on Pembina Hwy would ahve cost too much. That is why some civil engineers and city planners
were pushing for the line to be located along the rail line ROW directly parallel to Pembina.
I have no idea having a grade separated line on Pembina was even considered.
