ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I’m pretty sure development will happen here and fairly quickly. Council Galloway actual alluded to $2 million in investment already happening back in August, “@rideIONrt Block Line major private developmnt proposed integrated with LRT &new GRT terminal. $2mil yesterdy #wrLRT”. For one thing it is a prime location near LRT and highway access and there would be very little excavation required being that it is the side of a hill. Based on all the “future state” renderings early on in the Ion consultation process that is what was hoped and intended for as well:

As for the trail/sidewalk, the City of Kitchener got a grant last year from the province to formalize the trail on the west side of Courtland from Mill to Hayward. It seems ridiculous that another 1.5m-3.0m of space could not be found to continue it up to the station.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
