ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I do not understand why or how there would be a requirement for a bridge.  As Markster pointed out Via trains go through level crossings at 100 km/h, and they've got a much MUCH longer stopping distance.  I'm pretty sure they also go through level crossings at much greater speeds than 100 km/h on some parts of the Toronto/Montreal corridor.

It seems to make no sense to require a bridge, and if there are regulations requiring it, then that sounds like bad regulations.
