ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(10-12-2017, 02:05 PM)Markster Wrote: The route from UW Station to the UW Plaza (going in front of E5) is missing a direct (and level) pedestrian link, and it is not surprising at all that people would walk on the tracks in that area.

In Red is the paths you are supposed to take, as designed.
In Green are the natural paths a pedestrian will want to take.

A contributing factor is how narrow all the pedestrian paths and crossings are.  They are insufficient for the volume of pedestrians.  The E5 crossing is the only one that was built to an appropriate width.

Interesting. That's newer imaging than I get in Google Maps satellite view in a Chrome browser on Windows, newer than Google Earth on my Galaxy S7, but the same as in Google Maps on my S7. Time to look at the OMSF in GM on the S7, maybe all the yard tracks are visible now? Nope, not for me at least. Sad
