Confederation Line West LRT Extension (Stage 2) [Tunney's to Baseline/Moodie] | U/C

[Kitchissippi]

I suspect the curves are there because of hydrology issues connected to Pinecrest Creek. They basically had to realign the creek in that area and daylight portions of it that were concealed in culverts.

That said, I really wished they had pushed both Iris and Algonquin stations about a hundred metres northward. I also think they should have not given up on the bus platforms on the Queensway, they might prove to be useful in the future. Had the station been completely north or Iris those stairs and elevators would be within easy walking distance.

When the Baseline Transitway becomes a reality, the detour to Algonquin station will result in a big loss in time and energy.
