Which would you prioritize for high-capacity transit?
Context:
The current council approved $5.5 million for concept planning for three bus rapid transit routes that will travel in dedicated lanes — B1, B2, and B6 (which is part of the Terwillegar Drive Expansion). Council also approved $7.1 million for transit priority measures. The next council will be tasked to decide on funding for detailed BRT design, and then construction. A 2018 city report estimated BRT costs 25% less than LRT.
