If Calgary's
winter 2007 economic outlook is any guide, it won't matter all that much if the southwest leg takes a little while. The plan at this stage seems to envision completion of the northeast leg by 2009, and then the southeast leg by 2013. Even if the Stoney Trail Group has an eye to starting the Tsuu T'ina leg straight after finishing the east side of the 201, that's at least six years away. And chances are, they'll try for the extension to Sarcee Trail and the Stoney extension from 16 Avenue to Glenmore first.
That being said, it would be nice to have a little certainty about the route for Sarcee Trail through Tsuu T'ina territory. And between the casino and the big box lands slated for Sarcee and Southland, the Tsuu T'ina have a certain level of incentive for striking a deal. Would that some orbital LRT was being planned as a part of this operation!
