I'm not sure - I guess I hadn't thought about that particular scenario. In looking at Google Maps, I see that yes, it would make things difficult. So I would say that the email sent out a few days ago that stated that they would not start construction at Erb/Caroline until Union/King was reopened is probably valid (and a good idea).

...as Ottawa is discovering now. Although they got a good 30-years or whatever out of their BRT, building ridership first, I suppose.
