Buddy of mine from college who interned for UCPG and said the parking lanes in University District will be converted to a future BRT, I wonder if this project will see that finally done? This was back in 2022 so I am not sure if that is still the plan.

Are they going to add BRT lanes that cut into the communities or something? Several of those stops are at the intersection of major roads with that are 100-200m away from any houses. Hard to imagine a stop that's easy to get to or pleasant to wait at here:

Looks like the plan is to build a busway adjacent to Market Street where the future Greenline is going to go. I assume they have to demolish the busway to install the tracks for the Greenline? If that's the case, it sounds like kind of a waste of resources. It's probably better to just terminate the bus line at the front of the hospital.

It's probably a way for them to build a bus loop at Seton station to have capacity for feeders. A two lane road paved on top of the alignment won't be too wasteful especially if they design the utilities to be converted

It really has changed the whole vibe in the area. The level crossing at 17th Ave has been a game changer too.

Soon there will be three ways to access the station, when the controlled intersection is completed at 15th Ave SE/McLeod
