TOD is nice but it's certainly never been the driving factor pushing our LRT lines forward. There's really no TOD in the NW yet the trains seem to get used every day.

Then why are we building the West line ahead of the SE line, if the objective is not TOD? The comparative passenger volumes don't compute, and the current demographics of the West side are such that a high proportion of people don't take transit.
I'm confused - does the market study for West LRT require TOD, or does it not?
