You are right about north central. During the debate about phase 1/2/3 the argument for including 16th ave NW as part of the first phases was that it would be the highest ridership station of the line and getting over the river to 16th was critical. Money ran out tho.
Beyond 16th Ave nw it's tricky because the city hasn't acquired all of the land along the ROW so the south is more shovel ready.
Refocusing on north central is not going to happen though, UCP are talking about going all the way to Seton.
Best we can hope for in the north is a train along deerfoot up nose creek where nobody lives or works.
