The SE isn't the main demographic for the Green Line. The highest ridership portions and hop-on/hop-off vision was always going to be the dense 7-8km stretch between Ramsay and Mount Pleasant. SE was just the logical starting point for the Shepard maintenance facility with a bonus that SE commuters would finally have a relatively inexpensively constructed LRV option for commuting downtown to work.
Starting from the SE for this stretch, at one time or another the plans for each of these stations have been:

elevated (Ramsay)
underground
underground
underground
underground
underground
underground (16th)


And the target date for the EC to Millican stub approved in July was 2031.
