ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I know they built the first phase of iON on the cheap as the province and the feds only committed around 550m to us. Anything more would not have been digestible for the property tax base. If not elevated or underground why could they have not added crossing arms on the urban stretches of the system where it made sense. The side running ballasted portion on Courtland and Hayward have them. This could haven been done fairly cheaply. Although it’s probably not allowed by the MTO or Transport Canada.
