Either the bus interchange or the LRT track would need to move.
Yeah, but it’d require getting the tracks closer to the Ambleside Apartments and removing the trackside parking on Ambleside.

The lack of interaction means LRT is fast. Either way, you’re pissing off NIMBYs (then again, you’re pissing them off most likely no matter what you add, so... )

I would think you’d want a spur eastwards to NV as well, and THAT would be difficult.
