Has the east stops been revealed. At least for me that’s where I’ll be going so it’s what matters most.

If I'm reading this correctly, the bus lanes at Mississauga road will switch from being in the middle of the road to being curb side? Which means the buses will have to drive through traffic? Why can't they just keep the lanes in the middle? I don't see why the Dundas BRT can't be designed exactly like VIVA's BRT on Yonge st..

Curb lanes will be for buses only marked in red, other than a right hand turn. The density and ridership don't support a full BRT for at least 2 decades, if at all.

VIVA Yonge and Hwy 7 have more going for their BRT than the light BRT on Dundas/
