The Sports complexes nearby, probably. It would still be amongst the top 3 least used stations, though.

No, that extends the line further, and removes the connection to Clayton, which is prime development land and is urbanizing fairly quickly as is; the Clayton Station isn't going to be empty forever.
I mean, if we're talking about alternate routes for the Skytrain backbone, I still stand by the Fraser Line from

Merging the L-line and Fraser Hwy Line with a connector on 152 St rather than going Expo all the way down.
Admittedly, it's not the most efficient alignment, forcing a transfer at Surrey Central; it was mostly intended as a compromise for the 'Surrey First' types.
