Side-running LRT can have a narrower overall right-of-way than median-running due to lane width requirements for emergency vehicles, and the requirement to keep two-way traffic on all streets. It also makes putting in station platforms a lot easier. Not that I necessarily agree that splitting the route downtown was a good idea. We would have been better converting Charles or Duke to one-way operation. Maybe in a future rebuild.
