General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours
(06-15-2015, 10:38 AM)Owen Wrote: I get that - but the conversation here started with why people (i.e. the ones in suburbs in wards 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8) don't come downtown - and my point is that the LRT won't really help or encourage them to come downtown (except - perhaps - indirectly, via encouraging density and thus revitalizing the downtown and making it more attractive... but not directly via actually making it easier/practical to transport themselves downtown)

Of course it won't. LRT won't bring someone from their house in Westvale to downtown. However it might bring said person for lunch from the office in R&T/Northfield to uptown/downtown, all traveling as a group on the LRT and then back to work. The food choices in those places are pretty grim to begin with, and a quick ride to town for a bite to eat can quickly become part of the routine.
