^I was unaware the line was that old (although it makes sense with the fact it connects to the Grand Trunk and everything)...but it still feels like it does rip between neighborhoods. I guess we just look at it different.

I believe that the basics to what the route will be and the general idea of stations and of course being low floor were all decided, now just small things like station size where the line will run (ie take up an existing lane, demolish to create a new one) and the main thing left is funding which the City is looking into (raise taxes a little bit or reallocate existing funds going in).

The current spacing of the stops is fine I think, but also it tends to be that denser areas (ie Stony Plain Road over 87th Ave) will have more closer together stations (see the Downtown and Uni)...so I'd expect a few more stations than the 87 or even 107 Ave line would have brought, especially as it goes through Oliver. I don't think it really matters if it
