Are they planning to use the existing stop on Queen at Mill, near Joseph Schneider Haus, since it already has a shelter with wiring? The current map and previous committee report shows the stop west of Mill, but the previous map (inset) shows it east of Mill. It would seem even more ridiculous to have a stop for the 204 west of Mill and a separate stop for other routes east of Mill.
I also have concerns about the stop at Highland and Queen. Because of the turning lane on Highland to get on to Queen, and the lack of space for the shelter, the stop will have to be well back of the intersection putting it at the stop currently at Garden which is a good 120m from the Highland and Queen intersection and a mere 600m from the Belmont stop. Why wouldn't the stop be around the corner on Queen at Homewood where the stop spacing would be greater, and a shelter with wiring already exists?
Then it would make even more sense to have the next stop be at Courtland to maintain greater stop distances.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
