ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

This is looking like one of those situations where the regulations lead to a worse outcomes; I can't see this being safer than something that responds to the context a bit better.

The thing I don't get about Erb and Caroline is that there are already a full set of traffic signals there. Why do the regulations require railway signals on top of those? Is it really just because there is heavy rail in that area two times each weeknight?

I sometimes wish that we hadn't used the spur line for ION. I thought it would end up being less disruptive, but instead we have ended up with fences cutting through one of our beloved parks, and railway gates and signals at busy intersections.
