Well, how about you back up your statements with facts and numbers for a change? How much faster would converting the Woodroffe Transitway to LRT make the route? And how many more riders will it convert?
If that's the case why develop anything that doesn't service the entire city?

It's basic math, if the Barrhaven Centre is supposed to be faster using the Transitway, and LRT is faster than the Transitway, than a separated line going East, that is slower, reaches less population in the same corridor. How is that not a better investment? You also forgot that the Barrhaven O-Train line was single tracked, and service every 14 minutes.
You said it yourself that the 95 is always late. Barrhaven town centre is in the middle of the city, and should be faster using the Transitway than the initially proposed O-Train. If the O-Train replaces the Transitway, in it's own ROW, it will be even faster than the current Transitway numbers, that will crush even more the old O-Train numbers. Plus the population density is much higher in the Woodroffe corridor.
You develop a major plan, that's what you do, and what people here try to do. It's called a vision.
