I was inspired by seeing the BRT on 14th Street SW. It was hugely controversial at the time, maybe not so much on CP but in the adjacent neighbourhoods. As I drove past it I didn't notice any grievous traffic problems or gas pipelines burning so I'm wondering what people think about it now.
What other things turned out the way you predicted, or didn't? What disasters decisions didn't actually make much difference, or what seemingly good decisions turned out terribly?

Regarding the BRT, it seems to me that this gets very little use. I barely see anyone near the stops and it seems that the buses appear empty for the most part. If anything, they got it backwards, and should've built that underpass at 14th and 90th for the regular traffic as opposed to the bus.
