The NC LRT I think has been its own thing ever since the beginning of the CTrain and even while it has the necessary ridership for it, the city has never seemed to want to go through the effort of building it.

Was the north added in to get voters to agree with the project?

I think so, there wasn't really the economic justification to spend several billion on a stand-alone SE LRT project and there would be no way NC communities would accept being passed over again. But by "combining the two" and strategically placing the maintenance facility so far in the SE, now you get the stand-alone SE LRT.
