ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I don't have an issue with the island, but the crossing from the island southbound (to the left) is ridiculous.  I can't see how crossing arms would be a limiting factor here.  What crossing arms are they reusing with this alignment?

chutten, you seem to have gotten every point, good and bad, that I could think of. And then some!

[edit] wait I thought of some more:
* Southbound Caroline's stop bars are set much too far back.   That's a legal left-turn-on-red there, and by setting it so far back, it makes it awkward to approach through the bikebox, crosswalk, and then through the excessive extra space to get to a point where you can see approaching traffic.
* In general, turning radiuses all around are too large.
