It's a question I've pondered, whether King George or 152 is better. Thanks Fredinno of saving me the time to check the distances.
Agree that King George catches the park and ride, also a station at 148/32 and King George seems better situated than the equivalent station on 152.
The advantage of 152 is that you could have a Panorama station at 152/ highway 10.
I don't have the stats on this, but I'd guess the biggest advantage of King George would be a wider right of way. Plus you'd have greater visibility of the train to drivers.
Overall, I think King George makes more sense, but it is not crazy to consider going down 152.
As an aside, not to declare a war on cars, but if there ever was skytrain down King George to Highway 10, it would be nice to see that overbuilt intersection reconfigured to something a little more urban (i.e. a single intersection).
