It can be done, it's just a stupid solution. It isn't that costly or hard to do a bit of cut and cover work to put the thing underground for a few meters. They're building like a dozen elevated sections, right? Now we'll just have a train that...as usual...can't navigate any turn or operate near any street unless it slows down to <10km/h. There's a reason the Waterloo Chronicle ran this amusing image...because if this is light rail rapid transit then it is indeed being powered by horse and buggy at the speed it goes.
