There is an opportunity, in my eyes, to move a lot of people rapidly up to/down from the N end on Wharncliff/Western with lots of mixed traffic express-to-Western and express-to-TransitHub if we would build a TransitHub where people could park free and take a no-stop express to downtown. There was never going to be anything "rapid" with a Richmond BRT that was going to snake through campus.
And I'm gonna say it... I'm now convinced that dedicated lanes are really only an attempt to frustrate drivers to social engineer people out of cars (as is the notion of a 30 km/HR speed limit in residential - watch, I bet busses will be exempt!!).
If you are really interested in moving people do a N TransitHub with ample free parking, and non stop busses to a downtown terminal with 5 minute frequency, and truly effective synchronized traffic lights you might get somewhere.
