I was in Calgary two weeks ago and took photos of the West and Northeast extensions of the C-Train network.
The West LRT is something else. It will feature both the first elevated and tunneled LRT stations. The Sunalta station, elevated, will connect the far western end of the city centre and the Greyhound Terminal.
Westbrook will be underground and support the re-development of old commercial and institutional uses for a more dense, mixed use area.
Sunalta Station and viaduct:
Westbrook (note new condo towers)
Sirooco Station:
Northeast LRT extension - McKnight-Westwinds to Saddle Ridge
This is lower-key than the impressive West LRT. The extension only goes for two stops further to the northwest to Saddle Ridge, a circular roadway containing suburban plazas, parks and such surrounded by low and medium density housing stock. All crossings, except nearest the existing LRT, are at grade.
Extension from McKnight-Westwinds:
Martindale Station - a simple stop without amenities like parking or bus terminal
Saddle Ridge Station:
