Yes, fair enough I would say that would qualify, although just as with the SWBRT, it's still only partial as the rest of the journey has to be made in mixed traffic. It's a good start though and I hope they can figure out a way to get it into downtown properly.
17th Ave offers another great comparison to the SWBRT - it's been a gongshow of construction for almost a year now yet you barely hear a peep from the locals in complaint, probably because they have better things to do and appreciate the investment. Compare that to the SW, where construction hasn't even started yet and you have ready2engage and all the other NIMBYs.
IMO, we should scrap the SWBRT and any other infrastructure in the far SW for the next 20 years until the local baby boomer NIMBYs die off, and spend that money on the rest of the city. Anyone SW of 14th and Glenmore does not deserve any taxpayer money after their actions over the last few years.
