Given that it's a former rail alignment, Homer Watson Blvd South is screaming out to have an LRT run down the middle of it. Plenty of development opportunities along the mostly abandoned rail corridor as well. The trick though is what you'd need to do to people's houses is Preston though. It would definitely be cheaper than the current proposed elevated structures crossing the Grand and Speed rivers though.
There is a lot to like about that alignment...I've always wondered why they didn't go down Homer Watson, hitting Conestoga College would have been a huge win, but even the rest seems to have far more housing and developement and would be cheaper than the option that was chosen. All you give up is the alignment at sportsworld (which could be hit in ... I dunno Phase 5 when we build a branch to Hespler).
