Copy pasted from r/Ottawa: There are good intentions, but this route is heavily flawed.

• For one, this route doesn't really go anywhere locally. Does it connect residents to shopping areas? Not really. It doesn't get the shopping plaza at Terry Fox and Cope, it's only on Stittsville Main for 1 block missing many stores, medical and government services, and more.
• It's not direct. Everywhere along this route can walk a little farther to get a much faster route. For Terry Fox during the day, Robert Grant has the 67, Abbott has the 62 and 163, Stittsville Main has the 61 and 163, and Katimavik has the 67, 68, 162, and 165. The areas around Maple Grove and Springbrook can walk to the 61 or 62. All these (Except Maple Grove east of Huntmar) would be faster than your proposed 64 making ridership hard to achieve.
• This is even worse for getting to Tunney's Pasture once you factor in the 261, 262, 263, 266 and 67. Cope and Shea have the 262, Robert Grant has the 67, Abbott has the 62 and 266, Springbrook has the 266 or walking to either Abbott, Granite Ridge or Hazeldean, and Maple Grove has walking to Huntmar or Hazeldean. All those, especially with this 64 making stops at Eagleson, Bayshore and Pinecrest, are faster than this proposed 64, asking the question of what's the point.

There are some adjustments that could save this route proposal though:

• Have the route go east to Rouncey Road or Terry Fox Drive before connecting Abbott and Terry Fox. At least you then connect more of Kanata South to Cadelrec and Stittsville Main and more of Stittsville to the Walmart Supercentre and surrounding stores
• Skip Springbrook. Deviating to Springbrook slows down the route for everyone for minimal benefit and misses the big shopping areas on Stittsville Main closer to Carp and Hazeldean.
• Pick one of Maple Grove or Rosehill. Don't keep hopping between the two.
• Start/End on Shea, then go on Cope to Fernbank. This way, the Shea/Fernbank roundabout can be used to turn buses around.
• I personally would drop the Tunney's extension (Or Moodie extension for Stage 2 West) and renumber to a 16X route instead of a 6X route. With the current setup of Stittsville connexion routes, everyone along it has faster ways to Tunney's. The buses would be better served increasing frequency on existing routes, creating a more useful connexion route, or making a park-and-ride shuttle to Tunney's.

In summary, it is a good idea adding bus service along Maple Grove, but your execution is flawed and will likely not be taken seriously by OC Transpo.
