ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(08-31-2015, 02:43 PM)SammyOES Wrote: I'm not sure what the draw is for this?  Victoria leaving Kitchener and Woodlawn entering Guelph just aren't very attractive places to go.  A lot of car lots, industrial storage and little commercial parks.

Well, areas that are unattractive in that way are much easier to redevelop. But the thing that's there right now is jobs - especially on Woodlawn in Guelph. A GO connection is not really that helpful if you then have to backtrack. Right now, by car, the east/north side of Kitchener and the west side of Guelph are really easy to travel between, and I think local intercity transit is needed to bridge those kinds of gaps. I would suggest something similar for a Galt (/ Preston) / Hespeler / Guelph route.
