Though I'm sure someone along Byron will come up with some made-up reason why this would be the end of the world as they know it.

I think this is the least disruptive alternative (likely cheapest) if we are going to follow the Richmond/Byron corridor. It will also generate more ridership than a route skirting the Ottawa River Parkway corridor.
