ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[dunkalunk]

Apart from the fact that the City of Cambridge has identified Hespeler Road as an intensification corridor, and council approved a route with a station at Eagle and Preston back in 2011, what exactly makes a station at Eagle/Pinebush so special to keep? The cost of the required grade separation at Eagle Street hasn't gone away. It's really odd that more-direct "indirect" routes such as Bishop or Coronation can't be considered in light of this.
