In the meantime they've made the NRC campus actually less transit-oriented. A fence now blocks the pathway that led to the Ogilvie street crossing to get to Blair Station, and the 190 local bus to the Transitway is being eliminated. As far as I can tell the only real way left to get to Blair Station now (which is supposed to become the east end of the LRT) is to take the 12 eastbound.
Plus which both the existing CSIS and the coming CSE building have hundreds of units of surface parking, probably at least 1000 spaces altogether, despite being a 5 minute walk from the Transitway.
