To that end, I argue any use of the "Quality Corridors" typology for TOD is NOT the best option for Winnipeg.
Where it was acknowledged that we are a slow growth city;
And that we have a limited demand for higher density residential TOD developments; we must therefore focus on LIMITING the number of stops on ALL transit routes where TOD principles will be applied (not just dedicated ROW rapid transit routes).
In other words, the Quality Corridors typology does nothing more than spread far too thin for any discernible effect an already small amount of true TOD development opportunity, meaning Winnipeg will gain no tangible benefit.
Winnipeg needs to adopt the 'Pearls on a String' TOD philosophy to obtain maximum benefit.
