Removal of the U-Turn for 86, 81 and 98 at Benard Terminal (Suggestion from the Annual Feedback Board)

I liked this suggestion so I thought I'd show what it meant. I'm not sure what YRT was thinking to make the buses do a U-turn at the intersection where Cora is but, they should have made the buses loop down and around for better alignment and transfers with the 83 Trench, 80 Elgin Mills and VIVA Blue. The 86 North makes the right out of the station and the 86 South the left to Elgin mills from Yonge.

Possible 80 Elgin Mills Extension Eastward to Angus Glen C.C. via Berczy Glen Boulevard based on Annual Board Feedback.

The 2026 and 2027 Annual Community Board had multiple people wanted some sort of transit service, whether the 80 or On-request in the Berczy Glen neighborhood. I decided to take a crack at making an mock-up extension through this neighbourhood and ending at Angus Glen Community Center. The stop at Elgin Mills and Prince Regent will no longer be serviced, while providing service on the opposite side of Victoria Square Boulevard.

I tried to show all other local routes it connects to however some of the stops are purely speculative based on routing (e.g. potential 419), and a few need to be changed (e.g. Major Mackenzie East and Warden). I added a few stops (e.g. one on the north-west side of Elgin Mills and Woodbine) for better connection with the 24.

The main problem is that there are no good images of the current development of this neighbourhood and surrounding area, so this will not show the full potential of the extension (e.g. Google Maps shows there's a lot more on the northern side of the neighbourhood). Also, I'm not sure if the roads are big enough nor have the space to run buses through here.

Anyhow, feedback is strongly welcomed.

e; Missed a few stops (452 at Victoria Square and Rinas, and the 80 looping around Angus Glen coming back west onto Major Mackenzie).
