NYMBY are everywhere, even along Pape Avenue. The city has to stop caving to them
The city could have handled that one better. They should have anticipated that Pape Ave residents would question why the subway station was not proposed on Carlaw instead, which is a wider road that also has bus service and condo development. But when the NIMBYs brought it up, the city was unable to explain why this alternative was not viable because they never even considered it. They looked at many possible alignments for other part of the relief line, but somehow they never questioned whether it made sense to build a subway under a tiny residential street instead of Carlaw Ave. So now we're wasting time and money studying the Carlaw alignment when that should have been done already.
