I think a bus circulator with BRT attributes (dedicated and enforced rush ROW, TSP, enhanced boarding, etc) tying in the Red and Blue lines would be good and perhaps even achievable.

Those are small neighborhood streets lined with small businesses. They aren't intended to be a dedicated pass-through for bus traffic.
The scale of this proposal makes no sense from a planning standpoint. I can somewhat understand the City desperately trying for Amazon and so considering something questionable in case that moved forward. But when that doesn't happen, there is just no compelling reason for this scale in that location. It isn't as though the city has a shortage of underutilized land including even the Reese property which the City has a vested interest in seeing move forward.
