ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(08-31-2015, 12:01 AM)tomh009 Wrote: It really won't be cost-effective for low-density residential areas, such as Country Hills or Pioneer Park.  Those are car-centric areas, and an LRT won't change it for now.

Putting an LRT into low-density, car-centric areas can make sense if there is the will to change the nature and density of those areas along the line. If they're to stay as is, then it probably doesn't make sense.

My sense is that the corridors that might make sense after the first line is extended to Galt are 1) Erb/University (the current 202 iXpress) and 2) the Highway 7 corridor to Guelph, including Victoria St and Woodlawn Road, then to U of Guelph.
