I like your idea but think it might be best to have the light rail go left AND right on 21st. St. To the left you could route the light rail to Hampton Blvd. and down toward ODU and on to NOB. To the right you could eliminate some parking on 21st St. (as you suggested be done on Colley) and extend the rail to Monticello and go in a loop towards downtown. This way you pick up all the commercial areas of Ghent and increase development on Monticello, which is ripe for development, as well as connect downtown, Ghent, ODU and NOB.
