The 'flagship' Westbrook station was supposed to be in Brentwood I believe, but the residents ran that idea out pretty fast. Residents in Westbrook told the City they could put a great LRT station there instead, and that's what they're doing.

When the LRT goes underground downtown, it will only be for the S-NW line. The NE-W line will stay above ground on 7th Ave - at least until the newly built stations are nearing the end of their lifespans.
Once the SE LRT is built, there will probably be a flagship station on 2nd Street downtown, inbetween 7th and 8th avenues. One station, with connection to all three lines. S-NW underneath 8th Ave, SE line under 2nd Street, and the NE-W line at grade on 7th Ave.
