It's discussed in the
Scott Detour Presentation from April 2017 (reuploaded as it vanished along with the stage2lrt website). As per page 13, the Scott-Churchill-Workman route was screened early out due to "High bus volumes and noise levels on a local road (Workman Ave)". The recommended route was always to extend Scott, cross at Roosevelt, then build a dedicated road to the SJAM with noise barriers.
Basically there was much handwringing over the residents of Churchill North (Jeff Leiper notably called the potential routing of buses from Scott to Churchill North to SJAM as a "nightmare scenario") and those of Workman Ave (they get a full noise barrier between them and the transitway detour), but not a peep for the Taiga residents.
