After this line, Calgary should really focus on buildings its core transit, including the crosstown BRTs and perhaps even some streetcars (dedicated lanes of course). As Corporate said above, spreading transit out (any infrastructure for that matter) is just not efficient.

There are now probably 30,000 people living south of the Ring Road within city limits (Auburn Bay, Cranston and Mahoganny). Mahoganny alone at full build out will have 20,000 residents. This says nothing of future communities like Seton, which I believe will be getting their first multi family town homes sometime this year. Again, I know it's not as sexy as the Beltline but there is a lot happening on the fringes down here that I don't think many on this forum pay attention to.
