I grew up in Ravenna (and my parents still live within a mile of the area you're talking about) and I can tell you during a couple of discussions in the 80s and 90s when train service between Cleveland and Pittsburgh was suggested and studied the town was excited about it. There certainly wasn't much of a NIMBY attitude, of course thats largely because the town already has a couple of the busiest train lines in the area running through that it doesn't really get anything out of.
That being said the new condos on Emerald Lake Parkway would be right across from where you're suggesting the Eastbound connection be. Admittedly the builders of those condos put them right next to a busy freight line and less than 100 yards from a waste water treatment plant, so I can't imagine a rail connection would be much worse, but it seems to be the only problem I can see in your idea.
