General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[mpd618]

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)

I agree - the LRT isn't going to directly get people coming into the central corridor. But it will sure make it more attractive to be on the central corridor and to travel along it. A lot of the people currently in that corridor do lots of driving out of it; the LRT will help satisfy more of their demands within the corridor.
