"Route 7's absence from King St has been a pain point for a lot of Midtown residents for a long time, and they are better served by the 7 than the 200."
This is true. An area that had phenomenal transit service in the form of the 7 and 200 suddenly had very poor service, but the impact was more from the 7's disappearance than the 200's.
Weber would certainly be the faster route over Park for the 200. Park will at some hours of the day be slow (Weber never is).
I have to retract my comment about using the 200 to build ridership patterns to support Ion. I do believe that (give people making residential and other decisions the option to use transit now, before Ion is running), but it was a pretty silly thing to say in this context. Park and Green is extremely close to the GRH station, so if King is really out of the question, that's a great place for the 200 to stop. I would say it should stop at Allen, too.
