I just think a commuter travelling from Mckenzie Towne to Downtown using CT should be able to do so in 30 minutes or less.
The distance between the two destinations is about 16.5km as the crow flys.
Is this unreasonable?

Even on the finished LRT that time is optimistic methinks. Building too good of a BRT facility to the SE will inevitably slow down the timeline for a LRT. BRT can support up to 10,000 ppdph - at what point do we kick all those people off their transit route for two years or more while we convert the line to save tens of millions in operating costs? Or will taxpayers be stuck with higher fares and taxes due to higher average operating costs per user?
BRT is seductive, but there is a reason it is cheap - you pay for it in operational costs.
