There is a bus stop in front of the Bank of Montreal. Plus one in front of Forunner by Walmart. Where is the bus going to stop? If it stops in front of the Coop or Royal Bank, it will be in the far east bound lane. The bus is much wider than a car, it will be rear ended. It takes seniors more than a few minutes to step up on to the bus , get their fare out, and find a seat. Add more time if they have groceries to organize, plus a walker to fold up. You can't just put bus stops any where. To be safe a pull off needs to be cut out of the boulevard. Every one thinks they are a city planner. Have you though about the winter. The bus doors open out. A bus needs to park a foot away from the curb. Then the bus is blocking more of the road way.
