I thought that depending how that new conference centre (Open Sky?) on Ardelt does and what else goes up in the industrial area (maybe a hotel on Overland?) that a stop could be inserted immediately south of the expressway at Ardelt/Overland. It would be fairly close to the existing Mill station, but no closer than stop distances in downtown/uptown areas.
As an interim measure, they could re-open the railway crossing just south of the expressway that has been closed (why? and side note: is crossing there now dangerous because it has been closed, when it was safe enough before?), and install a pedestrian route under the expressway and up to Mill Station. This would provide walking access from the LRT. I’m not sure if there is space in the LRT tunnel however for a pedestrian route. If not then I consider it a blunder: the additional cost of building the tunnel 4m wider would have been a triviality in the context of the overall project.
