Schematic section of the Lougheed chunks (looking west). On either side, a four-storey commercial street wall is surmounted by residential units. The right-of-way is divided equally between light rail (aligned down the centre) and two travel lanes (plus occassional parking) on either side

 

Perspective of the Lougheed Highway/Willingdon intersection. Light rail travels at the same grade as pedestrians and cars, making it an integral part of the streetscape. Streamlined stations, like the one shown, are proposed for either side of the intersection. This was considered preferable to a single, bulky station as it allows the central median to accommodate a left turn bay that is separated from through-traffic lanes by a row of street trees. Two lanes plus an additional lane of occasional parking are provided on both sides.
