Nope, not really. From King George Station up the Hydro row to 104th is about 1600m, which is about the distance between most stations.
In fact, it would be ideal. The line is away from people's back yards and the station's where the people are. Put a station at around 104th and 140th. I believe that area is slated for low-rise condos. Or if want to build to existing density, a station at 102nd Ave where there already is an established development.
Looks like it would be a little tricky with tonnes of hydro wire in the area, not impossible.
There's also a pedestrian path would could then have the opportunity of being enhanced.
As long as it can make the curve from King george Hwy North up the ROW, I think this route makes the most sense.
