Now if LRT were extended to Place d'Orléans along the 174, this might re-energize this part of Orleans. It already has better bones.

The trouble is, from an infrastructure spend perspective, it would make more sense to build the new southern Orleans rapid transit corridor LRT from the beginning rather than building a BRT, then tearing up the northern Orleans BRT and replacing it with LRT. I think there may well be dark days ahead for St Joseph and Place.
