Central Station further affirms my belief that Van Buren should have been the chosen route.

They wanted the stations to hit all the major attractions downtown at the time.
Stadiums, Symphony hall, Convention center, Herberger. + ASU downtown which was still mostly a proposal, City hall and the courts... Dont ask why Orpheum and Doge (at the time) were left out in the cold
I think thats why they did the whole split line thing too
