ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
So you build an elevated train so it doesn't hurt the traffic but put a park under it, which takes over the car lanes anyways.

I wish we had buried it under the iron horse trail, though I'm quite aware that this might not have been possible given the increase in costs. Karlsruhe had to bury its LRT, mostly because it had become so successful that trains couldn't move fast enough at surface level.
