ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I'm in favour of grass anywhere that it's not going to be trampled because they made the sidewalk too narrow or poorly aligned.

There's an especially potent example of this near GRH, where the sidewalk does a rather large zig-zag to traverse a gradient.  I'm sure it's necessary for users with limited mobility or using mobility aids, and obviously outside a hospital this is of prime importance, but every single able bodied user will simply walk across the grass, so why not skip the grass and put in a step or two instead.
