This statement always bothers me. There are no plans to extend the line to Stittsville. Yes there is talk about extending it as far as the CTC in Kanata, but I can't see that happening once it is official that the Senators are moving (I don't think it should extend beyond Terry Fox as buses would be adequate beyond that). I do agree that the extension to Trim Rd is ridiculous though. I think the park and ride lot there was too tantalizing for the politicians.
IMHO, our priorities should be (in approximate order of priority, though some are close, and priorities could change over time):
- Extend Confederation line to Baseline/Bayshore(Moodie?
)
- Extend Confederation line to Place d'Orléans
- Extend south-eastern transitway to Earl Armstrong Dr.(and add bus lanes to Earl Armstrong Dr.)
- Upgrade and extend Trillium Line to Airport
- Baseline BRT (Baseline to Hurdman)
- Extend Confederation Line to Terry Fox
- Extend Baseline BRT to Bayshore
- Carling LRT (only this high because it is low hanging fruit)
- Extend Confederation Line to Fallowfield (or Marketplace Station)
- New north/south LRT line to downtown (Bank St or similar),
- New north-east LRT line Rideau to Vanier Parkway
- Extend north-east LRT line to Blair Rd or Montreal Rd Station.
- Extend new north/south LRT line to Earl Armstrong Dr.
A Gatineau LRT extension should be inserted there somewhere. I am also missing a few of the suburban busways that are planned.
