ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

One of them is on Charles immediately north of Water as seen in the project agreement, but I am wondering how these stops will actually work in practice because there is no curb cuts to access the bus stop island and it isn't tied in to the pedestrian crosswalk.

Just guessing, but won't the bus stop and the passengers get on and off?   No, seriously, I am having trouble understanding what you've described.  Maybe post a pic?

I believe what Pheidippides is saying is that there is no depressed portion of the curb to get pedestrians from the sidewalk, across the tracks, to the island / bus stop without tripping.
