Unfortunately, neither Powell nor Division have enough width to accommodate a MAX line from the river through 82nd, and would likely require an elevated line (fat chance!) or a subway.
The only thing besides bus that would make sense would be streetcar, but it would only really work on a 4 lane road that you could shave down to a 2 lane road.

Southeast is going to be much tougher to provide better transit to, though they need to do something for Division because that area is growing fast.
