Things went off the rails (pun intended) when 2017 realized the whole line couldn't be built in one phase, and NC wasn't made the priority. The bus ridership map posted earlier today in this thread shows how preposterous the effort has been to make the SE work, while the north has been completely neglected. Even a stub north line to say 64 Ave (I know it would have to go to 96th at least, just saying for this point) would probably yield more day one ridership than to Shepard in the SE.
I would be okay with all of this blowing up, if it realigns everyone to do the NC LRT instead, and allocate all resources to make that happen in the near term. Get all the ROW and studies done now to know exactly what you need, and the costs.
