I keep hearing these stories about how the positioning of the Seagram stop was "political". Is there any actual proof of that, or is that just "how it looks" and an assumption was made that that's what happened?
The position of the UoW stop seems perfectly logical, and then when you pin the other stop at Waterloo Town Square, the natural stop in between is exactly where the Seagram stop is now. A stop at Columbia and then one again at University with the next stop being Waterloo Town Square is "lumpy" spacing. UoW doesn't need two stops. I'm probably going to keep sounding like a broken record, but I really don't see any issue at all with the stop placements here. If I were doing this from scratch, that's probably exactly where I would have ended up dropping them in.
I'm just not seeing that there was some malicious intent or otherwise to somehow pacify vocal groups. There were over a hundred public consultation meetings on this.
