Those are the only for whom a downtown location is obviously more convenient (plus areas just outside of that boundary). If someone lives in Westboro for example, it is not obviously easier to get downtown then to another location in the suburbs. The objective is to try to maximize coverage for the city, not to cater to a tiny minority.
Downtown employees are a more viable target, but with the government’s office policies constantly changing, locating closer to home probably makes more sense.
Frankly I don’t think either of the locations are great. There are much more accessible locations.
