There is a reason ski hills tend to replace lifts every 15-20 years. The wear and tear of so many moving parts and the fact that each installation is basically custom and will always require very expensive custom parts. The quoted operating costs can't include depreciation.
Couldn't LRT work between Westbrook and U of C? It could follow the road down to Edworthy, cross the river, go to Foothills, Children's, and then the existing University station. It would likely require many elevated sections to mange the grades. It could eventually extend south to MRU and then follow the SW ring road to connect to the south line and maybe even the SE line. Of course we'll all be long dead by then.
