Yeah, if you're north of Ethel's, then you almost certainly want to take something other than ION to get to your destination. If you're going to the University, then you'd go north to University Ave or Columbia. Lakeshore is the only area where ION is preferable, but the station placement is kinda terrible for actually accessing the neighbourhood. You may just want to take the 7 to the mall, and then #9 into Lakeshore.
