Regardless of why the bus bay was deleted, which may or may not be Transport Canada, it's clear that when they decided to delete the bus stop, they did not take any actions to accommodate it in any other way. This is an intersection where there are absolutely no space constraints. There is parkland on either side. There were multiple solutions to install a bus stop island. Shifting the LRT east. Shifting the roadway west. In the end they did nothing except delete the bus bay. The easy solution.
Rapid Transit made a decision that the bus stop had to go and there would be no accommodation, and GRT has to come in after the fact and work around decisions that are harmful to bus transit. (See also: UW Station contorting all bus routes through campus)
