The issue at hand right now is where to have it hit downtown. 7th ave can't handle the additional 2 lines (SE and West) and I doubt if it could even handle 1 more. 11th ave is supposed to be the 2nd downtown leg, and now they are seeing if putting that underground would be better than the mess that 7th ave has become.
Of course, it costs more money to dig than to just lay track.
I also think there should be 3 tracks in suburban areas instead of 2. That way you could have express trains. For example in the south, have a train that runs from Sommerset to Anderson making all the stops, then direct to downtown. Have another route that runs from Anderson up and makes all of those stops. That way people could still fit onto the train at Heritage.
