Remember, the NDP not only pushed forward on the M Line, they also changed it's route, going from Lougheed Towne to NewWest, instead of to Coquitlam as was originally proposed. Imagine if they had just gone to Coquitlam right away, we might then be a big step closer to the UBC extension..
Yea, I don't understand why they didn't build it all at once...instead, deciding to phase it. Oh well, it's history. Move on, look forward.

Underground all the way!!! (to UBC)
UBC would be underground because there's no space anywhere to build an elevated guideway nevermind elevated stations. On Cambie, you've got a wide median for that and we could've saved $$$$$$.....$$$$$$.....$$$$$.
