With ION coming online, I think I would rather see investment move toward improving bus service. It's a lot less glamorous, but any E-W route would have a minimal time saving for a lot of cost and I fear would result in reduced frequencies and service hours.
The same as phases 1 and 2, the intent would be to drive intensification. Given that this would likely be late 2020s or early 2030s, that may well work out.
The route from Conestoga Mall, down King to Erb Street -- that could have earlier applicability. Can someone remind me whether it's realistic to start with a BRT (trolley bus?) and then upgrade to LRT later? I'm thinking not, but I may be wrong.
