407 is for the 407 line.
401 is Britannia.
The point I making using the 500m Radius is, you are missing higher transfer nobs. Also, riders will now have to walk 1km or more to get to a stop. If I was force to walk to Central Parkway, it becomes a 13 minute walk compare to the 9 minute walk to Elm.
When you look at Brunhamthorpe, the line will use Hurontario to get to Sq One unless 26 stays as a grid route. Also, it would be too close to Sq One stop.
Coming home from tonight meeting, the two groups call for almost the same place of stops for the section from 407 to 403.
Paisley has more riders than Queensway as well connects to Route 4 going east.
People were calling for less stop as well express service. Express service to Brampton is the weakest link even to Brampton GO. Going north, ridership would increase from GO.
Ridership falls off south Paisley. There is nothing in this section that will see any density development to increase ridership over the next 25 years unless the NIMBY's move out. Ridership falls off going north of Bristol. Outside of peak time, ridership is low for business and even to Brampton. This area can see more riders if taller buildings are built as well other use to enhance the area.
I went up on a 202N to Matheson tonight. 12 on the bus at Elm and 2 got on. 3 got on at Burnhamthrope, 3 got on at Robert Speck, 6 at Eglinton with 2 getting off, 6 on at Matheson with 2 off. Now, does this sound like stops that will support a true Rapid Transit Line??
Eglinton will support a stop since this area is zone for higher density as well a better e-w line.
As it stands, Steeles, Brampton GO and Nanwood Dr would only qualify as stops in Brampton under the current EA. North of Queen is not part of this EA. This is what was put forth by the residents of Brampton.
One call for the line to follow the creek to the old hospital site that would become a new terminal for GO and BT.
If you want a true Rapid Line, PC, Dundas, Sq One, Brampton would be the stops. Then, what happens to the riders at the other stops??
