Segram is a bit of a ridiculous stop location to begin with, so I'm OK with a walking transfer if it means not slowing down crosstown trips.
On one of the maps, there appears to be a shot-turn of Route 7 in Uptown using William, Regina, and Willis Way. Could this feasibly mean more service on King bewteen Uptown and Conestoga Mall?
I would expect the Margaret-Belmont loop to have 15 minute frequency for most of the day. The loop covers most of the heavily-used portions of Route 8's north loop and was supposed to get 15 minute frequency in the last major service change until Route 7 streamlining was delayed due to LRT construction.
I have mixed feelings about deadending Route 4 at Grand River Hospital.
On one hand, it would be shame to get rid of a potential crosstown route.
On the other, Route 4 isn't all that well-used between Downtown and King-Union except by local residents.
On the third, this may be a function of Route 4's poor frequency and better, straighter alternatives.
Ending Route 4 at Grand River Hospital also seems like a missed opportunity to serve the Cherry Park neighbourhood.
I was also kind of hoping for some sort of Belmont-King route to help improve service frequency on King between Conestoga Mall and Uptown. Here's what I'd do:
There is still plenty of time for public feedback. Route consultations haven't begin yet and it's important we get routes in the CTC right the first time.
