By rapid transit, I really hope they mean LRT. BRT isn't technically classified as rapid transit even though it has the words in it's name.


.

Cool!

To be honest though, I find it really hard to imagine that we will get a light rail system anytime soon. (within the next 30 years)

As others mentioned , I think that London isn't foreward thinking enough, or has aggresive growth like the kind occuring eastbound down the 401.
Not saying that's a good thing but that's just the way it is.

I'd be happy enough if we got a Bus Rapid Transit corridor in those places, and a downtown bus terminal.


As for the Wonderland 401 interchange, I'm excited. Perhaps this could help to bring an industrial area around the 401/402. I envision a new road branching off of White Oak, and going parallel along the 401 to Wonderland for industrial use. This will also make Wonderland more loke a "Western gateway" to the city off the 401, since highway 4 goes through Lambeth, and if you go straight turns into Col. Talbot.
