it was also meant to be a part of a Transportation Master Plan; not to replace it. It seems that people have lost sight of that recently...

Yes, and in a way, I agree with them, but in the other, so many infilling and TOD can be done in the city itself, we don't need to feed the suburbs. What I see for the woodroffe corridor, is if a LRT goes there, to close 2 lanes, like they will in vancouver (man, I should move there, I'm stealing all their ideas), to have more bike paths, and encourage walking.
I find that people here are abandonning the existing places, oh well, too late, let's start something different elsewhere.
But then again, this is a really subjective issue that can't be quantified, some people will always prefer their cars.
