So, we are going to strip Richmond St and Oxford St bare of houses and build apartment buildings, I guess?
Why do you want opponents to come up with alternate ideas, but then limit what those ideas are? Why can't we just be opposed to the idea of spending what will amount to almost a billion dollars on something that shows barely any time saving, and also doesn't even go to large parts of the city where people with cars live? At 730 in the morning, I drive from the extreme southwest to the extreme northeast, right through downtown, in 25 minutes, a trip that would be well over double that, and even longer than that on BRT because of where BRT is and the extra bus transfer that would be required. What incentive is there for people like me who live south of Oxford and west of Wellington in the BRT forgotten zone to stop using our cars?
