I still haven't heard anyone give an explanation of why we would even consider putting the North Central LRT that way? What benefits does that have over either Edmonton Trail or Centre Street? Are there any other than a bit of cost savings? The whole corridor up Centre Street has huge potential to become a very livable area, and that would enhance its appeal.

Putting the train somewhere where it is actively impossible to walk to just doesn't make sense. We haven't reduced our reliance on automobiles if you have to drive/bus to the train station.
