No, but the tunnel itself is quite large, there's ample room for something like Montreal's MP-10. The underground stations though are a different story. Rebuilding them to accept high floor vehicles would be extremely difficult.

Other LRT vehicles seem far more reliable than the Citadis, so there's probably a better low floor or 70% vehicle we could use

Would it not be more realistic to lower the track bed at a station rather than rebuild an entire station to accept light metros or high floor LRTs?

I wouldn't want to see Ottawa switch out a low floor LRT for another low floor LRT.

Sarcasm, but there is an easier solution, just order the Siemens S200s that SF Muni has with steps and a wheelchair lift, though this would wreck accessibility.

Except that's not really possible without rebuilding the stations. There's not really clearance below to lower it. There's clearance above in the tunnel because of the catenary, but not within the stations where there's a third rail instead of a wire attached to the ceiling

However the much longer new tunnel on the west segment doesn't have the clearance so it makes it a moot point. Really only other LRVs would do..

And it is possible. Vienna's U6 also uses low floor LRVs, and it manages 205k daily riders
