Certainly the abandoned rail ROW between Fairview Cove and the DT would be ideal, but I wonder about how difficult it might be to gain access to those areas around the shipyard/dockyard now. Worth exploring no doubt regardless. Reversing direction might be challenging unless you tunnel under Duke or SGR which sounds expensive, but I'm no engineer.
On the surface a simpler option might be a tunnel or station under the Windsor St exchange leading to Connaught where if could run down the median to Quinpool, and from there head towards Brunswick. All of those could be surface routes. Eliminating curbside parking on Quinpool should have happened years ago so that could accommodate this. HRM periodically threatens to close SGR to vehicles, so do that, turn it at Brunswick and SGR and go up SGR to Robie to use the median there to get back to Quinpool.
