The LRT would never go up Queen Street, the Hespeler area doesn't have enough people to warrant that. And then...it wouldn't serve downtown Cambridge itself (aka old Galt) which is what is necessary. LRTs need to have large numbers of ridership projections to warrant the cost and construction. Running it down Hespeler Road was the best option for Cambridge because the potential for future development along that road is massive, whereas you can't redevelop much in Preston or Hespeler as it's all single family homes. They wouldn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an LRT just to service a couple apartment buildings.
