At first glance, my opinion was that stops were too closely-spaced in general. If they want to go for an express route that offers limited mobility within downtown to keep it moving as quickly as possible, I can see the merit of that. But that wasn’t communicated, so it’s hard to have a discussion about that.Exactly, the communication was terrible for the downtown area. How can there be any reasonable expectation of public input when the information the public has is so suspect?
I'd certainly argue against a suburban commuter ideal of the route, in fact, I'd say that it fails that goal as well. This route should be our Bloor Subway. Nice, even 500~700m stop spacing across town, hitting the major cross-corridors.
