That's part of the ALR and a flood plain, with ground that's been described as like peanut butter. I doubt it would be cheaper to build it there.

It's 7 minutes away walking from Edmonds Station. That's still pretty close.
Building industrial facilities on low-quality, marshy land like this isn't that unheard of. I mean, we there's the False Creek and Surrey Rail Yards, both of which are built on wetland infill.
If you extended the line to Murrayville, there's plenty of highland ALR land (coincidentally, ALR land that Langley has been trying to develop for years. Everyone wins?
)

Regarding the terminus Langley station: I spy a lot of parking lots around the casino and we all know what that means . And I cannot wait to see what Willowbrook will look like once the funding is in place.

Also, Langley City's maps (the maps they plaster all over the place when you go there) shows the Casino area as part of the "Entertainment District".

Maybe Langley can make Vin proud with their entertainment district?
