they could use Charlton to eastern Corktown - Ferguson for example, and then down to Hunter/Claremont.
It would be a shame for the potentially awesome shopping district of James South to miss out. Although, trains on Hunter is still darn close.
King/Main isn't a done deal by any means. There's still a good group in city hall hoping for two-way LRT on Main. They will have a mess on their hands trying to run all the other bus routes on Main/King if they do LRT on Main/King.
Two-way LRT on Main is much easier and IMO would allow better flow of overall traffic. All buses are moved to a two-way King and that's the end of it....no buses competing with LRT trying to pull in and out for stops at every block etc..... LRT needs to be given priority so that it's a fast option for moving across town. If cars are still whizzing past on 4 lanes of one-way street instead of 5 lanes, it will kill LRT.
