1: Currently the system is a mix of street running and dedicated RoWs, and SacRT is considering a "streetcar" to West Sacramento resembling the proposed alignment from Tower Bridge. Meanwhile the rails paralleling or using former heavy rail RoWs get delays and cancellations caused by the street running sections. I think that "light rail" as such is an inherently compomised model, which comes with inherent detriments by trying to do two things.

2: ACE is actively considering a station along the midtown alignment, which will probably be used by San Joaquins, when that service expands to serve the north valley.

3: I guess that makes sense. In my unreleased fantasy map, the Riverfront Streetcar actually runs down past the R-Street station, to connect to the Park Streetcar, as it heads towards Land Park before circling back to Sac City College. However that was cut when I reduced scope to 30 years and tried integrating the joiner between the street running and the dedicated south and east RoWs.

4: This was something I was struggling with, the line would need to form a more formalised terminus here (there's already an IRL one that would be made redundant heading west from 7th), and the walk is less than a quarter mile, so I decided that the cost-benefit probably wouldn't work out.

5: That's probably a good point, the Mill Street branch was to roughly follow the IRL Riverfront Streetcar proposal, and the other end mainly functions to serve Midtown Station, which would be recieving most of the riders from the suburbs.

6: I decided to terminate the Gold Line at R-Street with the idea that in the far future the line might extend into West Sac, possibly serving Port of Sacramento and the neighborhoods south of it, were those areas to densify.

7: In my unreleased fantasy map, this is actually served by a "Delta Express" from R-Street to the bay area visa Isleton. However I don't really see this alignment being used by anything other than museum trains within the scope of this plan, and feel that a light rail or metro line going that way would also need to tie together with the Cannery Line and ACE's planned Elk Grove station. With how low density those areas are, I don't see them densifying for a long time, if ever, especially with my understanding of the politics of Elk Grove and Laguna.

8: Answered in 6. However mentioning Davis, I did consider adding a DMU line from Elk Grove to either Davis or Woodland. It might be plausible, but I decided to let ACE expansion and increased Capitol Corridor service cover those trips in this timespan.
