Just spent a bit catching up on the posts in this thread (I've checked it a few times but haven't posted before). This is an interesting alternative solution compared to some of the others I've seen here.
Were it me I would be tempted to look at sending a future Blue line extension towards the Westgate shopping center and down Merivale instead of down Fisher. While a little more complicated this would add a slightly higher catchment area for riders since half of the area isn't taken up by by the experimental farm. Fisher admittedly would be easier since it has a lot of extra space (wide gravel curb and partial forest on the right).
Dream plans aside the Bank St Subway and additional tunnels under the Canal, Carleton and the Rideau River combined would be pretty expensive (ouch!).
