Out of curiosity. My brain is thinking that if we are reintegrating the street grid where the old Taylor field is than wouldn't a pedestrian crossing at Elphinstone by the tracks suffice to get one to the new street grid? Just do some good plantings of trees and such to hide the fence protecting the track and the businesses along Saskatchewan Drive and you don't really need to build a pathway at all.
Especially if this isn't even done by 2020 anyway.
Anyone?

I am not sure what you are suggesting? A pedestrian bridge over the tracks? Also you are not really accommodating bicycles. Remember this is the CP mainline with frequent very long unit trains traveling a low city speeds.
