Based on feedback so far from the STM consultation, here’s a third version of the proposed West Island route map.
The 217 has been extended eastward and the 216 and 211 cut back to des Sources. This provides better access to the Trans-Canadienne and better matching of service frequency to need along Frederick Banting.
The 215 and 214 have been rerouted through Westwood in order to connect the temples along St. Regis to Sikhs in Sunnybrooke. As a side effect, access to the Lake St. area is also slightly improved.
I’ve eliminated the routing of the 212 to the REM. I’ve kept it listed as a seperate route, but through routing with the 419 would be possible. I’ve also cut the northern part of the 219, keeping the taxi service in that area.
I’ve replaced bus service along Gouin, using the 208 to do so. This change could be reversed to give residents elsewhere along the 208 want better access to businesses along Pierrefonds.
As for the existing 211, I’m thinking that it might only be useful to run the portion of the route along A20 between Beaconsfield and the Dorval REM station. This is not yet shown on the map.
