If this expansion is intended to increase ridership, then it makes sense to do it right the first time.
No if the expansion is intended to increase ridership you lay as much track as possible at the lowest possible cost.

Calgary has the highest transit ridership of a city of its size because of two decisions. Build rail as cheaply as possible and deal with the consequences and secondly cap the amount of parking downtown.

Just compare Edmonton's system and Calgary's
