The west end location is so much better from a transportation standpoint, and it's not even close.

That location puts it in easy walking distance for City Hall station covering the Red and Blue lines even better than Victoria Park does now, and being on the Green Line would ease that congestion even more. Sunalta means majority of the people need to go the same direction on the train so they can get back to the Red Line. Significantly more of a #### show than it is currently.
Significantly better dispersal of LRT traffic is more important than vehicle traffic, especially since it wouldn't really be worse than it is now in that regard. Vic Park location moves people better, not just cars better.
