It is all well and good that the entire council supports an LRT proposal. I think that there have been compelling cases made that this could be a viable, long-term solution to the transit issues in Aylmer and Hull.
However, I am curious if there will be any action by Council and/or STO to address the current difficulties experienced by west-end transit users in the short-term. If, as the article posted by Aylmer indicates, the plan for Council is to get a committed, funded project in place by the end of the current Council term, how much longer will it take to construct and effect service on this LRT system? What will they do in the interim, since it could still be close to a decade before the first train even rolls?
I am appreciative of the positive step and long-term vision, but there is still much pain to overcome.
