The Lawrence E bus #54 meets Eglinton at Leslie as well as the Leslie bus. At this point in time, sunday PM, the #54 route has more vehicles in service than Eglinton E and Leslie combined, a ratio that probably exists in Peak periods as well.
I have seen opinions that Leslie Street doesn't warrant a stop because there is nothing there but a car dealership. I guess they didn't notice the park and a lot of bus traffic turning west bound for the Yonge Street subway.
Have all the other bus routes that pound along Eglinton to the Subway been ignored as a planning inconvenience too, if so what is the point of this exercise?
What routes are you worried about? The 54 can end at Don Mills and Eglinton, the 100 will probably do the same. The 56 Leaside bus will probably loop at Laird and Eglinton.
A bus bay at Eglinton will still be needed, but it won't be as large as it is now. Many routes will probably still use it, Avenue Road and Mt. Pleasant. These routes could be interlined with the existing southern routes though.
