Thank you ac3r for calling out the emperor's lack of clothing. It was clear that this project was about development over anything else when decisions were made to ignore the needs of those who might benefit from riding transit. If this was about moving people, then there would have been a station put at the Albert McCormick Arena which is surrounded by medium density development. If the engineers had not been so focused on the shiny things, there would have been less crossings on the UW south campus and a crossing built in the Traynor/Vanier neighbourhood. If the plan was for ridership, the platforms would be have been built large enough to accommodate the anticipated crowds.
I notice that Nürnberg, Germany also has a high speed rail connection to Munich with a similar travel distance than that as between Waterloo and Toronto. They also have a much denser urban area and from what I can tell from the satellite view, not a single really tall building. And lots of built heritage.
