This is my dream alignment.
Why it makes sense:
- The Expo Line sees high frequencies, so a trip to Waterfront at most for the average rider will be a 6 minute wait, and most of the riders drop off by Burrard anyways
- Only 1.7km, and can easily be stacked cut and cover
- The businesses on the streets it would go down wouldn't be affected much (like on Cambie with the Canada Line) so cut and cover wouldn't be much of an issue. Traffic is low on Melville and Cardero so not much of an issue there
- Is in a central location for the West End, unlike with the further Denman
- Provides direct Expo Line access for the West End, no need for a pointless transfer
I honestly think if they charged an extra $0.75 fare for these two stations, the extension could pay itself off.
