I can also see the North line taking a lot more red tape. For the SE line, most of the land has already been secured. The N line would likely require buldozing of houses and businesses; similar to what the 16th ave project had to do.

The big part of this as mentioned before; one proposal was to build a lot of the bridges, tunnels, etc required to give a dedicated SE BRT route. Then when the time comes to build the LRT; it's easy to put the tracks right over the roadway the bus uses.
