not to my knowledge. And truth be told, I just whipped it up on the fly this morning to illustrate how easy it is to come up with alternate ideas that don't completely suck.

Total distance of track with my quick idea this morning is 17km. Total B-line is just over 14km. However, that's not a true indicator of cost because some sort of tunnel would need to be dug into the escarpment at the south end of James St, up to West 5th/Mohawk, so that would likely drive the cost up.

Although, the mayors idea of laying down 3x as much track and overhead wiring through a forest and protected greenbelt land would certainly cost far more than the entire B-line or my quick idea here.
