ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Thanks. Yes, the new plan is OK (though still a bit of a detour if you're coming from Central Drive, which is the one-way road next to the tennis cours).

As in Markster's post: there are currently no crossings between Seagram and Silver Creek. So if you're on the west side, you need to get to Seagram before you can get to the east side. There's a body of water and a fence in the way, otherwise.

If you're on the Animal Park side, you pop out and either go South to the crossing onto FDB, or if you go North and cross at Seagram (temporarily) if you want to go to the sports field on the West side, or continue on the bike/walking trail over there.

The only thing you can't really do (easily) is get to the TPSS if you were looking at a Llama. That's about your worst-case situation.

You can get stuck in the spit of land south of Seagram and west of the fence. The new crossing will help. The Central Drive crossing was better if you're going through the park; it's a small detour with the new crossing at the station and a bigger detour now, especially with construction vehicles on Seagram as well.
