Dow's Lake station is under a 30 minute walk from the heart of the Glebe. The 6 and 7 combined give very high frequency bus service from Parliament or Billings to all points in Old Ottawa South, the Glebe, and Centertown within 10 minutes (if traffic isn't terrible). So it's quite close to the rapid transit network even though not directly served

Yes, there's no rapid transit within a 5 min walk, but it's far from what I'd rank high on the list to spend billions of dollars. It's a nice to have, not a must have. There's other parts of the city much farther from rapid transit like Vanier, baseline etc that should be ranked higher
