I took a drive on Homer Watson yesterday, it really is too much of a surburban highway to justify higher order transit in the foreseeable future. Conestoga and maybe the Pioneer drive area are the only two nodes where there is any ridership potential. The rest of the road is flanked by protected parkland and backyards of surburban homes abutting the roadway. This could be a potential BRT route in the future but LRT would really require starting the ensure corridor anew.
I do believe that the phase LRT could have served more people if it ran in the rail corridor parallel to old King there’s some density already there mixed with quite a bit of vacant space or recently demolished homes.
