Kanata LRT EA - Bayshore to Palladium

[J.OT13]

Way too many stops on the route. How many people do they expect will take transit if it takes over an hour* to get downtown?

The LRT shouldn't be going to Stittville. The area is already built up low-density and there is no room for a decent N/S road corridor (which is needed in a high density area regardless of transit access). And we know what's going to happen; if Stittsville gets LRT, then Kanata North will want it to. How many times can we split the line before the capacity and frequency becomes an issue?

*We ca't just calculate the speed without stations and add a minute for each station. We have to take into account the acceleration and deceleration. Average speed for Stage 1 will be around 32 km/h which is just about in line with other systems. So about an hour+ to get downtown from Kanata/Stittsville
