I hear your saying but I do believe that the cut is deep enough to allow for double stacked rail below and dips and rises to allow car traffic under or over LRT without conflict. No doubt that there would be some complex engineering required. Big advantages to using this route include the cut already being there and most if not all proposed on my map could be done without having to demolish homes...other than the ones along Robie that are already to be demolished. Also, capping might just mean spanning the cut with sufficient structure to support LRT tracks.
