Good question - I'd be curious to know why 2nd Street SW is the only one being considered. Even 1st Street SW could possibly work. That would solve the Prince's Island alignment issue if they were to go with a bridge option.
I can only imagine that "they" want to avoid putting it too far to the East because the majority of downtown is to the West of Centre, which would limit the need for connections onto an E/W line once downtown.
