Is that too small of a ridership area? I had thought that was pretty significant, but I might be wrong.

It really won't be cost-effective for low-density residential areas, such as Country Hills or Pioneer Park.  Those are car-centric areas, and an LRT won't change it for now.
Step 1, as always, is to have a bus route. If the route cannot support a bus, then it cannot support LRT.
