ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(07-20-2017, 09:50 AM)Markster Wrote: I wonder how many years it will be before they legitimize the *obvious* crossing for the Willis Way platform.  I can guarantee you that 80% of all able-bodied people will just cross Caroline St directly from the platform.


And more fruitless traffic control is clearly on display at Northfield.
Most destinations at Northfield are to the left.  They are forcing all exits out the right.  Again, most people are going to walk around that fence, but then cut diagonally across the ROW toward their destination.  Unless I suppose, they put a dividing fence down the middle.

I’ve said it before, but I think it is worth mentioning again: not enough thought about how Ion users will actually use and access the stations has been done and is now showing in the final execution of the build. It will affect ridership, the experience, and safety negatively.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
