People who don't want it connecting their area with a "bad" area. I have no idea if that applies in this situation. But some people who live on the "right" side of the tracks would prefer those on the "wrong" side to stay on their side. (I'd bet people oppose certain public transit routes for similar reasons.)

Also people who just don't want any foot traffic in their residential area. Some people are adamant about their neighborhood having as few outsiders as possible and by invite only.
