That definitely true, it would be much more costly by the time this comes up. Perhaps an associated station can be built underneath Westbrook and not link tracks, just transfer passengers. it could face a similar problem with the connection to the SE lrt, depending on what technology was used. I can see something like this being increasingly necessary with the huge east-west traffic flow.
I would prefer this line to link to Chinook station, as it already serves as a bit of a hub, I can only imagine the Chinook area to busier and denser. However, the nightmare of connecting an east-west line to chinook through the mall and lake just seemed too daunting.
