The LRT project is only "urban" to the extent that it moves suburban commuters in and out of the downtown core, and incidentally serves a few additional urban stops along the way. The plan overall is very suburban, and there is still no meaningful plan to improve transit in the urban "transect" or whatever this decade's buzzphrase is.
I have seen no sign of the mythical $500-million revitalization of downtown, and in any case, was that amount city, or even public, money?
