There has to be a much more collaborative environment established. Railroads would be more willing to come to the table if it were understood that their success is a municipality's success, rather than their being fundamentally in opposition.
There are still conversations ongoing today. There are dreams of taking the CP rail mainline outside of the city of Calgary and just bypassing the city, at the cost of literally billions of dollars that they don't have. I think it's to the long-term significant detriment of the city of Calgary if we're talking about a lower-carbon future.
The current legislation is based on mutual incompatibility. If we built a new framework that understood the essential role that both play in each other's success, you would find a better way forward for both municipalities and the railroad. If we try to give more of an upper hand to one or the other in a conflict-based system, you will see a lot of push-back from both sides and more conflict.
