I'm trying to understand what you mean here.
Fusili covered why to use Centre St north of the core, but you said *in* the downtown core. I don't understand how it is any different to tunnel under the hill 4 blocks west of Centre St, especially since that brings it under part of Sunnyside, and then curves it rather drastically under the middle of Prince's Island Park to meet the SE Line's Eau Claire station under 2nd St.
I realize this isn't the NCLRT thread, but I would rather talk about this until my initial reaction of "What?!" wears off at this 4 month delay.
