But even with the river crossing, it's still a substantial cost to just reach Panorama Hills. Livingston/Carrington are too new to justify having rail service (it doesn't even have real bus service) and doesn't have the pull of a major hospital like Seton does. The developers have probably calculated that the only likely chance of the Green Line reaching new communities is through a prioritization of the SE.
