ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I confirmed that Allen is a windbreak today:
   

I also measured the platform width of Allen (windbreak), Willis (windbreak), and GRH (enclosure). Allen and Willis are both about 3.9m, while GRH was about 4.4. So the difference is about 0.5m. With the 0.5m "bike lane" on each side, 0.25m utility buffer, and 0.25m curb surely there was room to find 0.25m on each side and not impact the road lane width (excessive already) and sidewalk width.

This new bus shelter at GRH is less than ideally placed (actually not sure a wheelchair/scooter could actually fit past there, especially in the winter):
   

Time for another no parking blitz perhaps?:
   
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
