Oh I'm all for downtown Preston. Heck, I think the line should go right through Preston, with 2 stops, then zip along the centre of Coronation with a stop at the Hospital and then Delta and Ainslie (missing 24 entirely). Hespeler Rd. is a disaster that can't be saved. Preston is worth bringing up and I can totally picture how the walkability and so on would benefit from transit there.
What I'm saying about the routing is from Fairway to Sportsworld area: if it goes along King, with a stop at River, it can only move at the same speed as traffic due to the rules. So 50-60 km/h. And it might have to stop at lights, which is basically just River, but still. If it runs along the rail line or beside Highway 8, they can do the max. speed of the LRV which is 80 km/h. So it's definitely going to be faster.
