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.
A spur to Foothills, the Children's Hospital, and the West Campus; major employment and activity nodes in the city. To clarify, I'm not talking about an end of the line spur but rather a spur from a station like Lions Park or University.
