Otherwise, we could stick with the stop at Ottawa street seeing that King and Main are a very short walking distance apart at Ottawa.
The only signifcantly displaced stop on the B-Line would be the eastbound stop at Main and Kenilworth. Westbound would still be there, so there really is no significant change in traffic patterns. As far as Delta High goes, the curerent B-Line isn't designed to service it directly anyway. Catchment for high schools can easily be handled by local bus routes such as 1 King and 5 Delaware.

Delta kids walk to Kenilworth & Main, a quick 1.5min walk, to catch the B-Line. There are dozens of them every day. Students make up probably about 65% of bus capacity during the morning, and right after school lets out. LRT @ King & Kenilworth would not allow these Delta students to use this awesome service, and they'll continue packing onto buses making them uncomfortable for those non-students who are on it.

I agree, 100%! Possibly on a Barton LRT. Goes all the way into Stoney Creek, loops around @ King/Hwy8 into Stoney Creek Village, then continue along King all the way to The Delta. Connect it with B-Line.
