Grand River Transit

Hmm...

Seems GRT has been doing a lot of upgrading in the past 5 years. I had two that I'd say were in the running. The iXpress stops on Maple Grove Rd. and the stop on Bridge St. just south of University Ave. Both I've used and are terrible for the context...both have been improved since I had to use them.

Honestly, it's just frustrating, because again, funding is not the limiting factor. Sure, funding affects some things, like we're seeing service cuts because of funding. But especially for capital projects, there's funding available. The main limiting factor is engineering skill and willingness to de-prioritize cars.

I'd still argue that both examples I give are bad because they're dangerous if you end up on the wrong side of the road, but I'd like to add a few ION stations for how egregious they are...given that they are mass transit stations we should expect more, and for them to have serious deficiencies in pedestrian access is inexcusable.

Also...probably this should move to GRT thread.
