With all this development in Marda Loop, eventually this area would become a good candidate for an LRT line. Maybe an additional line from downtown going through Bankview, Marda Loop and MRU?
 
Unfortunately the rail transit into MRU (a streetcar) looks like it will be coming down 37 St from Westbrook. I'm not aware of anything more for Marda Loop other than beefing up the existing Max Yellow BRT.

Although I suppose it is possible the streetcar could branch off after MRU and head somewhere like Marda Loop.

I’ve never heard any talks of street cars in Modern day Calgary? Any info on this?
 
You could continue the MRU streetcar through Currie Barracks (dense development in progress!), Flanders Ave, and then north along Garrison Blvd. I think a route that avoids narrow streets, high traffic streets, and steep hills, is possible until you get near 14th & 17th.

According to my crayon and bar napkin, the math works out.

I'd say the flanders ave interchange configuration makes this a no go.

Hey, not a bad route you built for a tram. My minor changes would be to build a new interchange just for the tram above crowchild, going from Bishop Carroll straight east. Then I would go through Scarboro and straight north on 16 St all the way up to Sunalta station to finish.
