Lansdowne could also be served by sacrificing the car-only fetish that the NCC has for the QE Drive and extending the future (24th century?) Carling LRT along Dows Lake and the Canal, along basically the SnoBus/Tulipmobile route. I'd have that surface LRT/tram serve platforms...
- under the Bronson Bridge
- under the Bank St Bridge
- at the 5th/Clegg crossing
- Pretoria Bridge
- Corkstown
- Confederation Park, for now, reserving the possibility of continuing further north once we finally come to our senses and demolish the NAC.
