Is that too small of a ridership area? I had thought that was pretty significant, but I might be wrong. As well, I'm not overly familiar with how LRT systems work, I had figured that once the system becomes less linear that trains would be able to travel all around, or at least have connecting stations to multiple lines. My suggestion could easily connect to the Mill /Ottawa, Block Line Rd, and Prestonsburg stations.
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.
