ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

What, for example, could designers possibly do at the corner of Queen/Charles? There is literally no practical solution there.

They could have done exactly the same thing that was done at Queen and Duke, square off the corner, as described here:

It is practical to reduce the turning radius (prioritize pedestrians over trucks) on a one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the city.
