There are no existing medians in the middle of 19th Ave. north of Bethany Home Rd. The roads are being widened to allow the same number of lanes of vehicular traffic on either side of the tracks. The stations require an even wider area to accommodate platforms, tracks and vehicle lanes. All of this requires acquisition of property along the entire route. It also means that the entire street is being rebuilt, right down to sidewalks and curbs and street lights.
I don't know if $65 Million is too high, but the extension of the line is not as trivial as some people seem to think it will be.
