It looks like everything is focused on getting into, or out of, the downtown area.
I think if a route was set up to run the length of John Laurie and Mcknight, with buses at any given stop in 15 minute intervals during peak hours, that would render a lot of private vehicles unecessary.
If such a route had busses every half hour for the rest of the day/night, I wouldn't need my car for the evening shift either.
With all the business parks, there must be other transportation corridors that would be similarly suited to having dedicated bus routes, that intersect the LRT lines. Which points up the lack of planning. The NE LRT station should have been combined with the 36th Street/Metis Trail/ McKnight interchange, instead of being over at the Westwinds location.
'Planning' seems to be a lost art in this town.

Since you can't tell which is which without it being too late, it's probably best to err of the side of caution and not fuck with other people's property." ........ TKRIS
