ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

it would look a lot nicer.

I agree for the most part, the chain link fences, and the "funnels" are quite hostile looking.  But I don't think much of the gates either.  They aren't quite as hostile, but are still out of place.  On a pedestrian ROW there is no need for giant lights and bells, with an enormous car sized gate arm.  Something pedestrian sized would function the same (or even better as the lights would be at eye level) and look far better IMO.
