I freely admit that north of Country Hills Blvd., west of 69th St W and south of Marquis of Lorne Tr. are so far from where I live and work that they might as well be Red Deer, Cochrane and Fort Macleod, respectively.
Despite my inflammatory language surely even you can glean from it my frustration with "the boonies" being provided with more transit infrastructure than well-established, denser, mixed-use neighbourhoods in the inner city. You know, old neighbourhoods where people would probably use transit for all sorts of trips?
Let's face it: outside of going to and from downtown Calgary Transit provides very poor service. It doesn't really go anywhere else. This plan exacerbates the problems the system already has.
Worse yet are the comments I've read on the Herald's website (I know, I know, it's the Herald website: what else would I expect?) clamouring for LRT to Cochrane, Airdrie and Okotoks to alleviate traffic 'problems' on Hwys 1A & 2. THAT is just nuts...
