I believe the answer is that Wayne Ave has much lower traffic volumes than other streets. Another factor would be the space required to do a grade separation at the intersection of Kenilworth and E/W, as the LRT tracks will be in an aerial overpass at that intersection, changing the geometry.

I'd also note that the property impacts are all a result of widening the right of way, regardless of what that right of way is used for. There are some portions along University where the tracks are in the center, but the road needs to be widened, and the road is what displaces those properties.

Given the values espoused in the project so far (to not reduce auto lanes), this is more or less an inevitable impact.
