Ah, much better. I had previously spoken out against the proposed consolidation of route 11 and 22 into a large (inevitably, one-way) loop. I still think having local service on Ottawa St is a bit redundant. If Fischer-Hallman didn't have the density/ridership/whatever to support both iXpress and local service in 2011, what makes them think that... Ottawa St of all possible corridors does? lol
Personally, omit the 'Ottawa South' portion of the proposed route 3, and interline the 'Margaret' portion with 8 Courtland at Benton-Frederick (as they are today, basically).
26 Trillium? Back from the "dead"? Cool. Realign to Fallowfield Dr, please.
28 Franklin? via... Fourth Ave? Nope. Please don't. Franklin ain't even that far away.
And check out all those routes to the Sunrise Centre. Is staff planning to build a terminal at the Sunrise Centre, or will the terminus for the four routes that serve it be at the side of the driveway through the plaza, obstructing traffic?
Oh, and let's remember that Block Line Station can only accommodate one (articulated) bus in its bus bay off Courtland...
Great, but this does nothing for us Beechwood West residents, namely those close to Keats Way who would be most inclined to use route 29 to access ION. Personally, I won't be walking 10+ minutes to the 202 on Erb, or taking an extended trip on the 13.
