ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(12-20-2016, 06:17 PM)KevinT Wrote: I'm guessing this block of Waterloo Street is to become pedestrian access only to the new transport hub?  On satellite view it doesn't appear that there's nearly enough space between the private garage (green) and the curb (let alone the sidewalk!) to squeeze in a TPSS with all the required access clearances.

I believe they purchased some of the private property, but since it closed at the railway tracks (you already cannot go through to Victoria), it wasn't useful as a thoroughfare anyhow. I believe they intend to maintain access to Google's loading dock, and possibly add a pedestrian walkway to the transit hub, but if you're in a car it already doesn't lead to much else.
