I’m thinking, phil235, that Jihn M might be thinking the following:
Whereas most of the OC Transpo buses crossing downtown have been replaced by Line 1 of the O-Train; and
Whereas the loudest complaint about downtown portion of the old N/S O-Train plan was that the roadway would be completely clogged with BOTH buses and trains;
Be-it-resolved that the northern end, from Bayview to uOttawa, of the old N/S O-Train plan be revived so that Line 2 diesel trains can be run between Limebank Station and uOttawa Station, using at-grade tracks along Slater and/or Albert.
However, I am also thinking that such a proposal ignores the fact that some STO buses have been moved onto Albert & Slater, even though the streets have been (I believe – or are planned to be) reconfigured to remove most of the transit-specific infrastructure.
And a question for you, phil235: Why do you appear to want all of the transit activity to be in one corridor? As long as there is an easy connection between the lines (say, a pedestrian tunnel-ramp under the short-block of O’Connor, between Albert and Queen), why not spread out the crowds?
[I’m not picking on you, phil235. It is just that you seem to be thinking about this and coming up with good ideas and comments.]
