ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(07-25-2017, 08:11 AM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: It'll also be interesting to see how they guide pedestrians. If you're someone at Google wanting to walk downtown for anything, you'd probably just want to walk on the east side of King to get downtown, crossing if necessary at lights that are more plentiful in the core. If there's not good redirection signs to get them there, and a well-thought-out pedestrian crossing cycle at Moore, I expect we will see many pedestrians jaywalking. Similar needs back down at King to put people (or keep them) on the west side as soon as possible, and prevent people from trying to "cut the corner" and walk across the graded Hub site from Waterloo and Victoria with thoughts of getting to the east sidewalk on King more quickly, only to find it's not there and then winding up doing something dangerous to deal with it.

The east and west sides of King St West?  Wink
