And yes Hunt Club, I'm serious. It needs to be built so that traveling across the South is necessary to make the whole area inside the greenbelt travellable by transit. And necessary to feed Confederation Southwest and the Trillium Line.
Why do you think they will prioritize an unplanned extension of the Baseline BRT to Walkley over the planned extension to Bayshore?

The problem with Hunt Club as a transit corridor is that it skirts the edge of the green belt, so any opportunities for TOD are cut in half. That really limits its usefulness and is the primary reason why OC Transpo doesn’t have any continuous routes along it. I would prioritize routes that already have significant demand.
