Fair enough. What alignment would you use? I've considered doing an extension from Steel Plaza right along Centre Avenue to East Liberty. I also thought they could make this extension into a full subway line (heavy rail) and convert the East Liberty/Shadyside bus garage into a heavy rail maintenance facility.

I also thought it could extend beyond Steel Plaza and include a couple more stops in the southern portion of Downtown, but I guess that's not likely tho...
