I don't think anyone here was suggesting that. At least I hope not.
I do think though that building the LRT on some impractical route that is not going to benefit the maximise number of Cambridge citizens and thus ridership just for the sake of building it so no one feels left out is rather silly.
I think any sensible person wants to see Cambridge with LRT. I want to see the urban areas of the region as accessible to LRT as is possible, and to not include Cambridge makes no sense.
But Cambridge city council has a role to play here too in coming up with the best route that will make LRT beneficial to as many people as possible. Surely that is one of the chief goals of LRT is it not?
