Throw in the Hospital and development in Riverside South.... ya, I stand by my long-held believe that Line 2 will be overcapacity within 10 years of re-opening.

I agree. I think Trillium Stage 2 is grossly underbuilt. The City focused on extending as much as possible more than it did on securing long-term capacity. I fear more long shut-downs, and by that time, bus replacements will no longer be adequate.
