The spacing in Downtown Mesa is a station every half mile: Country Club - Center - Mesa Drive. That's actually fewer stations per mile than in Downtown Phoenix or Downtown Tempe, where stations are only two blocks apart. Don't blame Mesa for any flaws you perceive in the current line.
In any case, this survey is really more about naming conventions than the exact plan for future expansion. What specific routes might be added later in terms of light rail, streetcar, or BRT is a separate matter subject to planning decisions and funding availability.
