I don't understand what the road-interaction is supposed to be @ River Rd. I'm picturing the plans for the extension in my head - there's supposed to be a new bridge over Hwy 8 here. Would the bridge just be built wider to accommodate LRT as well? That would significantly impact the planned ramp access for the River Rd / Hwy 8 exchange. Not sure what they're planning to do here.
Also very surprised at the lack of a River Rd stop. There's a considerable neighbourhood RIGHT there as well as Chicoppe. Thought it'd be a shoe-in for a stop.
How in the world will they manage the Shantz Hill situation? I like thsis route over the Mapl Grove / CP corridor options (because of stop locations), but this is going to have a HUGE impact on the road layout, loss of the Petro Canada station, a new bridge over the river, LRT, cutting through wetlands and a park, and LRT cutting through a very old neighbourhood
A little disappointed by the lack of stop directly at Pinebush, but understandable considering the existing rail crossing on Hespeler would've been difficult to navigate.
Extremely pleased with the workaround route they've drawn to get to Ainslie. The other options were dreadful. A stop in Sober Park would've been nice, but might've been a bit too close to the Ainslie EOL.
