Stuart Allan : Proposed elevated alignment through downtown Calgary for Green Line LRT is an act of civic devastation.

Calgary grew up 100 years ago around the original CP railway tracks, which now cut a scythe through the centre of town.

Calgary would be mad to accept it, Allan says.

Allan : This will be a permanent slash across the face of downtown that no amount of beautification or camouflage can fix.
