ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Correct.

And similarly, there will be no two-way usage of tracks in the one-way loop areas.
It's tough to see them getting legal signoff to do wrong-way service on the tracks. Certainly not without full bidirectional signage and signalling. That's an expense which is hard to justify when we're talking about something that would be used only in exceptional circumstances. Instead, we're probably just going to see replacement bus service in the event of critical issues.

Other dashed dreams:
Allowing the one-way loop sections in the downtowns to actually work as loops.
