I think that's a great poster, Markster!
I also brought up this stop location when input was requested (after the stop location was pointed out here), and I'm frustrated that, in the improvement plan recommendation document, their response to the Queen/Courtland stop request was: "In order to provide faster service on the iXpress, staff are reluctant to add too many additional stops; after implementation, other stop locations will be reviewed if required."
That definitely mischaracterizes the request. I know that I was very clear that I suggested moving the Mill stop, not adding a new one. They identify the feedback, but do not justify their decision to place it at Mill. They also identify the feedback about 204 that there are too many stops (apparently 6 people identified this as an issue), but don't make any attempt to respond to that. There may be some really good reason for choosing Mill (I'm not sure that existing stop infrastructure qualifies), but they haven't said what it might be. Stop spacing alone suggests it's not quite right- the trip generators near Courtland make it a no-brainer to me.
