The problem there is that the average city block is 80m long. Fair point, I'll concede a two-train Flexity (60m?), but larger trains would either block traffic or require some very creative planning, especially around the 104th turn. The bi-articulate buses are cumbersome as it is, to say nothing of anything larger.
Not to mention that if you need a tram that big in the first place, you're probably doing something wrong. LRT can't replace RRT/SkyTrain.
