ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I hate to say it, but probably not much of a potential.  None of the stops really have a courtyard like that - our stops are much, much smaller.

We have a few that will be able to do something kinda like that:
  • R&T Park, I believe is the one that most definitely has something that could be called a "forecourt".  It's a little recessed from the road, and there's a wide path planned to connect.
  • Uptown Square certainly will have food trucks from time to time.
  • Victoria Park station is right next to Charles St Terminal, which has a very spacious sidewalk; even more so after ION has been put in.
  • Block Line might have something that could be like that, but I can't remember the station layout off the top of my head.

In any case, none of them will be exactly the same. We don't have many that will serve as bus hubs and park-and-rides.  Just the mall stations.  Though.... Fairview Mall station might be a good candidate too.
