The Lynnwood alignment needed duplicate MSFs in just the SE.
Shepard means higher deadheading costs from the North. Enough to justify a separate MSF? Probably not on its own, but once you start adding a bridge over the Bow River, additional land expropriation (now a largely sunk cost), and the need to dig deep under 8th Ave, etc the math makes a lot more sense.
Separate the lines and the SE can terminate at 8th Ave with a shallow cut +cover underground, or come to surface north of 9th and terminate at 7th
