How would it be possible to put stations underground as they replace them along 7th ave?
Unless you wanted to shut down the entire downtown LRT line for 3 years...

The plan was to put the new underground line under 9th avenue, so you could leave 7th avenue open during construction of the 9th avenue line. I think there was also another reason they couldn't do it under 7th avenue, something to do with the soil or adjacent buildings or something, but I don't recall exactly.
