It's 200 metres between Pape and Carlaw. Factoring in the street structure and that the station boxes are aligned north of Queen, a Carlaw alignment would provide ~380m distance reduction (200+180m station box) for some new workers and residents on Carlaw (accessing north end of Carlaw station box vs south end of Pape station box). That's about 5 minutes. It doesn't seem like much but it is.
The distance between Carlaw and Pape is nothing. On the other hand the distance between Queen Street station locations and the large employment nodes and after hours destinations on King Street require a 7-10 minute walk which includes crossing at least 2, possibly 3, maybe up to 4 arterial roads which is much more hostile to transit users. All because Kessmat wants to protect ScamTrack to the end.
