When it comes to intra-neighbourhood transit, I believe trams have proven themselves as the rapid transit mode of choice; they excel at complementing inter-neighbourhood lines.
A spur to where though in the NW - Hidden Valley? Not near enough people who would use it. The only place I could see it being used is over the Resevoir but again, population density there is far too low to justify the cost.

Maybe MacKenzie town as an alternative to SE line?

Both seem crazy. There are only 2 cities in the US who use them, and both have very specific geographic reasons why they are used.
