I don't think the answer should be to tell those people to take the bus to the train, adding time to their trip.
I don't think the reason we have buses on route 7 is to shuttle people to Ion because King Street North is so unpleasant to walk on. We should be making it easier to get to the stations.
So much this. Sadly the public consultation for Weber St. has already happened, and there were so many drivers complaining about it, the region has basically given up on taking space from cars to make it a better trip for active modes.
