I'm trying to figure out how the Waterloo Park section is going to be laid out in the end, for the purpose of remapping it in Google Maps.
- So the parking lot adjacent to the Seagram stop will be no more, correct? The technical drawings (page 14 and 15) seem to imply that, but yet they still show an in/out lane for vehicles that is connected to Seagram in that spot. Where is that supposed to be headed, if the parking lot doesn't exist? How will the trail be organized around this area?
- The Ion blog mentions that the "Central Drive" rail crossing will be removed which connects to the parking lot, and that a trail will be replacing it. The mentioned drawins show a staircase at that crossing — for what? There's no grade change here, why are there stairs?
- "Central Drive" is also supposedly being rerouted to run along the east side of the tracks and connect to Seagram. The drawings make no note of this though, nor do the stop plans and renders. Where is it supposed to be connecting? My guess would be either where the eastern side of the trail meets Seagram, or in-between those 2 parking lots on Seagram. Interested to know which though, so that I can edit it in on Google Maps.
- Also... "Central Drive"? The road technically does not exist according to the City's official GIS and plans — is it simply the road running from Central St to the parking lot? Does it include the section running from Young up to Central St, and/or the section from Young to the splash pad parking lot?
