So part of the confounding factor was that my initial complaint was based on this:
Given that, it just didn't seem to make sense to put a stop at Highland, a stop at Mill, and skip Courtland. A stop at Courtland instead of Mill would be quite reasonable a substitution to spread the stops more evenly.
And then we found out about the Highland and Mill stops being split stops.
I too, have been curious to map density along the route, so I've gone and done it, and made a rough, hand-done map.
Red: areas of high rises (~100 households/ha)
Yellow: areas of low rises or townhomes (~35 households/ha)
Green: areas of single family homes (~15 households/ha)
Blue: Commercial districts
Red Pins for the 204 stops
GRT's Proposal
Eastbound:
Westbound:
And for comparison
