The point that I was making was that the fact that it getting built 5 years later shows how effective the transit is/was for the last 5 years. In cities, TOD proposals are approved usually within the year around transit nodes. Ottawa has a few that are around major transit nodes on the new Confederation line. Developers are usually eager to develop around transit nodes as it's an easy way to make money. The fact that we aren't seeing any legit TOD action until now, showcases the ineffectiveness of our current "rapid" transit model.
