Option 4, the E-W route was the prefered option at my table at last week's consultation. There was also a clear majority that wanted it put on record that we liked the Byron option.

I talked to one of the staffers afterwards who stated that the Byron option would cost about as much as putting it along Carling. That to me means they haven't seriously looked at the Byron option. Byron is shorter than Carling has fewer intersections and is much more space. How could it be anywhere near as expensive.

I think the Nimbyism against the Byron option is overrated. There was even a guy who lived on Byron there who thought Byron was the better choice.
