I'm still a fan of option D, but I'd honestly say scrap the 9 Avenue station, and put the 16th Avenue Station under the intersection of 15 Avenue and Centre, with a station head on each side of the south side of 16 Avenue. That will make this station more accessible to people in crescent heights south of it, and it will eliminate the need for an extremely expensive and impractical station that frankly not many people will use. Could also do ped tunnels from the north side of 16th to connect to this, to eliminate the busy crossing at 16 Avenue as an issue from people walking from north.
Eliminating the 9 Avenue Station will have the added benefit of the train being able to continue at 4% grade straight from the river to 16 Ave, thereby likely lowering the depth of the station by (hopefully) a storey or two.
I really just hate the idea of a bridge over Prince's Island.
And as for Suburbia's constant incessant drivel, thank god for the ignore feature.
