Sources is in a no-man’s land though, a really terrible walk from any residential areas. And the A440 boulevard has been permanently scrapped.
The entire branch is rather poorly conceived overall. It’s been discussed quite a bit, earlier in all these threads. It’ll be a net benefit to the West Island overall, but could’ve been OH, so much better.
Sources is far from residential areas, and is in the middle of low-density light industries and warehouses; Fairview is almost as distant from the busiest intersection in the western suburbs, instead lying adjacent to a proposed “Downtown West Island” project that will likely never see the light of day (merci les NIMBYs); Kirkland faces a similarly bleak future thanks to PM; and Anse is near the entrance to a regional park instead of across the highway in an industrial park with 20,000 workers; they built the guideway lower, to save money, thus rendering the imminent rebuilding of boulevard overpasses and interchanges much more difficult and expensive, and all but eliminating the proposed crossing at Stillview from ever getting built; there won’t be any new incentive parking, ignoring the fact that WI residents don’t live in PM’s Utopia, with Bixis and sidewalks and a grid of bus routes, and shops and restos within a hundred metres of our doors, and of our kids’ schools. Boiling it down, it’ll be easier for many people in the West Island to just continue hopping in the family SUV to get where they need to go on a daily basis, as well as to anywhere special — including the airport. The airport. The airport that’s in the the West Island, yet won’t be a one-seat ride from anywhere in the West Island.
Edit: mods: sorry about the tangent.
