Wow, that's a stretch. You're going through some really quiet residential, suburban neighborhoods that would just love a streetcar going through their narrow streets.

It should stick to urban areas in New Haven itself IMO.

The West Haven Station is further west where Bull Hill Lane turns toward The Boston Post Road. In fact, instead of Jones Hill Road, I would place trolley service along Saw Mill Road/Bull Hill Lane toward The Boston Post Road. Also lower Post Road has New Haven College along it.

It's a long way to go just to connect UNH, but that brings up another topic: better public transportation linking SCSU, UNH and Quinnipiac to downtown. All 3 are sizable universities.

I think outside the box , but sometimes its needed. Streetcars are on tracks and no wider then a bus...which run down most those roads.... The Streetcar should connect all the Havens , which in 30 years will be very dense towns and cities...

Yale + Camden,NJ = cool city

In the Providence area all of the Colleges pay for free rides for student and faculty on RIPTA, the local transit system. RIPTA went out of the way to connect Rhode Island College and Providence College by bus because of the interaction between the two colleges. Service on lines that serve the colleges run as late a 2 am on Saturday night.

Many of those roads are only 2 lanes and very quiet residential streets. It's wishful thinking, but East Haven and West Haven are not nearly as urban as New Haven.
