It seems to me that you are writing off the second biggest concentration of jobs in the city.

On the other hand, a Trim extension does not compare to the cost of a Kanata extension and our plans don't take LRT to the employment area anyways.

When I last looked at the Trim station plans, I found it odd that the station was not being placed adjacent to the Park n Ride lot.
I wonder if people would use transit to get to jobs in Kanata. Most are in office park type developments surrounded by lots of free parking and far from the road (with a few exceptions such as Shopify, these seems to be how the tech sector likes to conduct business). Even if the LRT were extended out, I couldn't see it being better than driving in terms of time or cost or comfort.
