can we all get them to change their minds on the routing. i like the alternating loops but there NEEDS to be a through route

This is terrible. Why can't northbound turn back north or southbound turn back south after looping?

Because somebody over at city hall or Metrolinx made a stupid and unwise decision.

It was City Hall
Wasting your time writing the Mayor or Councilors since this is a done deal. They thought it would be nice to have this line waste riders travel time to service City Hall and the condos around it. Then there was Sq One Mall thats needs to be feed with riders.
The city talks great about having transit as #1 priority, but clueless how to do it as well making it easy to travel the city.

Actually, for the entire Hurontario line.
As for the loop, I can see trains using the loops for broken down trains or other emergencies. Hopefully, they'll have the appropriate monitor screens with changeable route information, as needed.

And some are told that only ML/Province can make routing decisions..,,,not local government
Kidding aside, whenever I want to get to port credit I take the 7 south to Courtney Park then the 103 straight down Hurontario.....I cannot imagine an LRT that loops a mall and forces a transfer is going to improve my experience......but maybe I am wrong.....people keep telling me I am.

Is Erindale Station being moved north of the 403, or is this a mistake on the map?

In the same week the New Brampton meeting happened, the Brampton Board of Trade held Elected Leaders Forum. Someone who was there told me Councillor Gael Milles also said the Steeles-McLaughlin-Queen-Kennedy-Steeles loop is a great idea. The event was recorded here (2:16:50) so if you want to scroll through to verify be my guest.

Since the Main alignment was in the City's OP and other master plan docs, maybe the Province was listening to what the City wanted even more closely than some Councillors who claim to represent the City

Is that the same official plan that has the entire length of Main shown as a BRT corridor? Or is there a different version (honest question....but this is the transit schedule listed on the city's web page).
