Crap, I recall hearing the debate but forget what the rationale was for this. I'm guessing a bit here but my two trains of thought are either (or both):

1. 11 Ave closer to the new events centre and Stampede Park in Victoria Park
2. turning radius required to turn the train north and into downtown might be too great to work along 11 Avenue
