With ION coming online, I think I would rather see investment move toward improving bus service. It's a lot less glamorous, but any E-W route would have a minimal time saving for a lot of cost and I fear would result in reduced frequencies and service hours.
IIRC, it was an 'easy' route. I believe they'd be thinking of twinning existing infrastructure. So the cost was actually quite minimal, with virtually no need to purchase property other than from the RR owner. Also easy to get people to main existing RR station if you have busses hitting every LRT stop.
I think we need to see how this LRT goes before building more lines.
