The conduits are embedded in the concrete for shelters at Highland/Fischer Hallman, but still no sign of shelters. The stops at Westheights/Westforest/Eastforest are temporary until road reconstruction on Highland in a few years.

Is there a reason the #8 Fairview via Weber is taking Victoria/Weber/Water/Joseph/Gaukel instead of sticking closer to its route on Margaret/Queen/Joseph/Gaukel? Turning radius perhaps?

The intersection of King/Queen on Queen is too difficult to navigate for the buses. It's one of the many no-go zones downtown.

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. It still seems strange that the buses couldn't handle the little jog in Queen going straight through King.

It is likely that the clearance envelope of the bus encroaches on the adjacent lane too much when navigating the S-bend.

Try to imagine two buses passing each other as they navigate the S-bend. It would not be an easy maneuver.

I'm loving the proposed 10 minute peak frequency on the 201 and 202 for Fall 2017.

I'm not liking the short-turn of the 92 at UW. It was the only local service along Fischer-Hallman that could connect with ION.

I can't say Im the least bit fond of the proposed Belmont -Margaret and Laurentian West - Country Hills routes, which they will inevitably run in one direction off peak or something...

Some very clever stuff here, like having the 2 extend past Borden station then replace the Franklin loop of the 8, and the loops that D40LF mentioned (I do not share his fears of one-way operation). Country Hills will be losing a bit of local service (Wilderness where the 22 runs now, Williamsburg and Dunsmere for the 3); but that's what the community consultations are for.
