i'm not opposed to it being built, there are already high-rise apartments nearby - I just think the degree of intensification that is being planned along an LRT route that is already at the breaking point is planning at its worst.
When most cities look to TOD they are looking to improve utilization of a poorly utilized transit resource or planning for TOD from day one on a new one. Calgary is approaching TOD with an LRT system that is breaking under the strain of existing ridership and just pretending it can effectively absorb more.
