That's pretty much the route I had pictured, except I think I would like to see the trolley run down 700 East instead of 600 East. Sixth East south of Trolley Square is so quietly residential, with the median and relatively little traffic; I don't really like changing that feel. Though 600 East is the center of the Central City Historic District and could then eventually offer great views from the trolley (and a grand entrance to Liberty).... just not sure it's worth disrupting the historic neighborhood when 700 East is already such a behemoth.
Though, on second thought.... an historic streetcar or trolley could really add to 600 East's historic neighborhood feel. It just wouldn't be the quiet neighborhood it is now.
Obviously, I'm conflicted!
It would also be great to jog up from Westminster and include 15th & 15th, too. And eventually Foothill Village in some way. Foothill, in particular, is in sore need of mass transit. But up 1700 South all the way to 1500 East might be too far off the path for this particular line.
