I think the BRT option is pretty well locked-in, too. Remember that most of the members of city council voted against LRT. If LRT is revisited again in the very near future, the councillors on the 'no' side are not likely to change their minds unless they are co-opted somehow, or shown that reversing their initial decision is in their own personal best interests, politically and otherwise.
We are simply going to have to wait until we have an entirely new city council in place and a new, more forward-thinking mayor before we can have any hope of resurrecting the LRT part of the RT project.
Sadly, though, by the time we get to that point, other cities like Hamilton and the K-W region will already have functioning and likely thriving LRT systems, with the end result that people will move to those cities instead and not give London so much as a fleeting thought.
Once again, London manages to snatch the crown of mediocrity from its rickety post.
