Who owns the track west of downtown kitchener?
Does anyone think GO would ever build a station in west kitchener near the boardwalk?
Seems extremely unlikely, the only reason would be for a park and ride, there is not even remotely enough density there to support a station without being a park and ride, and Kitchener's development plans do not support developing such density there.
And Breslau is already planned for a park and ride facility, as much as I disagree with that idea.
In my dreams, I see the boardwalk being developed into a TOD node with a complete community built there, just like for Breslau, but the reality is such a thing will never happen.
If it was to extend west, stratford is the first town which could possibly justify a GO station, but I find that extremely unlikely as well, it would certainly be an expansion of GO's mandate.
