ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Because how people actually access the stations and travel across their neighbourhoods was too often not considered (e.g Traynor ave) or considered and ignored (e.g. the above examples, the king/William bus stop, etc.).

Do not forget that in addition to the GRH stop there have been similar potential platform access problems identified at R&T, Willis, UW, Laurier, and public square to name a few. That is a high proportion of stations for it to be random. The details of how people access the stations will impact how well the system does and should have been given greater consideration.

I really hope that the region does a project ending consultation to collect all the lessons learned on to the next phase of ion and other similar projects across the province.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
