-Same line turning right along Montreal Road to reach Line 1's Montreal Station

Realistically, Stage 3 & 4 will be all about Barrhaven, Kanata and Stittsville. If we're really lucky Carling will be fit in there. If not, that's probably Stage 5.
All that aside, who or what exactly is your proposal meant to serve. What do you imagine as a typical trip for this kind of a route?
I think a far better idea is proper bus lanes on all of Baseline, all of Heron and all of Walkley. This would allow a substantial amount of feeder buses operating in various neighbourhoods and terminating at an LRT station to speed up. Couple that with a Rideau-Montreal LRT to serve Vanier and Beacon Hill.
