Light Rail ROW is being preserved parallel to I-75 as part of the reconstruction. This is a big difference between 2012 and 2002. I know it will be there north of the Norwood Lateral, but I don't know about between that point and the subway. 

It makes an awful lot of sense to have a high speed park & ride commuter light rail line parallel I-75 in the suburbs and use the subway. There are no good stops between Northside and Norwood, and the trains could have 2-3 mile gaps between stations north of Norwood.       

The big ? is and always will be a Northside station, which is an engineering nightmare. It's easiest to just skip it, which is what they did with the original subway project.
