RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 09-08-2017
And, as usual, introducing a 202 stop at King/University to facilitate transfers to/from the consolidated #7 has been forgotten.

No they haven't!
(Turn on the iXpress stop layer using the layers menu on top-left)
RE: Grand River Transit - MidTowner - 09-08-2017
Would you suggest moving the Laurier stop from the Laurier gates to King? Or just doubling up the stops there?

I hope they have both stops. Normally that would be too close for iXpress, but Laurier is an enormous trip generator, and connecting with the 7 is sufficiently important that it also has to be considered mandatory. We’re not gerrymandering the stop locations for some public service with a couple of people per bus; it’s probably a significant fraction of total ridership at that point in the route.

Whaaaaat!!! I would happily be corrected.
I was basing my complaint on the lack of a "Route 202" section on this page. If Route 202 is being changed by adding a stop, they should really add that.

Ugh, still nothing for anyone who lives southwest of the Doon South roundabout. There's 16 more square blocks of houses (not shown on this map) beyond the new Groh Public School that will be half filled by Christmas.

My preference would be to re-do the stops along University altogether.
Instead of:
Weber, Hazel, Philip, Seagram
Have:
Weber, King, Albert, ION/Laurel Trail, Seagram
I also understand that there is no way they would abandon all those expensive stops they built.
RE: Grand River Transit - urbd - 09-08-2017
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I find it funny how they are showing the route 7 northbound as turning left from Regina to the laurel trail/train tracks to go back on King
Edit: it's meant to turn left on Willis Way, right?

Ugh, and I had forgotten about that crime against transit...

Yup... but there are potential good news regarding this that would make you happy... let's see how it develops but lets just say that the Regina configuration is not final. Also PLEASE leave your comments about the plan, both positive and negative because they really help Regional staff make a case for improvements.

Crime in transit?

I think he means the weird detour of 7 up Regina, rather than just figuring out how to work in an Uptown stop on King around the LRT tracks as originally planned.
RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 09-08-2017
Oh right, now I remember. Chaos!

Aaaaaand it has been updated:
