ION Stage I: what would you do differently?

I think that a cut and cover section, perhaps ducking underground south of Laurel Creek, at about Willis Way would have avoided the creek challenges plus the curves.  The only foundations that might have been in the way would have been the Bauer Lofts.

Keeping all the platforms together would have always been preferable, particularly for those infrequent users of the service who might have difficulty with different entry and exit stations.
