A stop at Woodbine is important to provide the connection for customers originating in K-W, Guelph, Halton Hills, and Brampton. Especially if you're advocating for Weston to be removed (the, somewhat impractical, connection point currently provided).

I notice that they propose a station at Bovaird Dr / 413, and not at City of Brampton's preferred location, which is the intersection between the Kitchener Line and the the 413 Transit Way. Perhaps it's the Province's way of say you're not getting that Heritage Road GO Station?
