What should be done about LRT expansion?
Context:
The City of Edmonton's LRT Network Plan, adopted in 2009, consists of five lines extending in all directions. There are currently about $5.8 billion worth of LRT expansion projects underway on three of those lines; nothing has been done beyond the strategy phase on the other two.
