ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[YKF]

The placement of this crossing at just north of Father David Bauer at Caroline will forever be horrible, but at least they are making VERY slow progress on fixing the lack of curb cuts. First they painted the place to cut the curb. A few months later they cut the curb. A few months later they have removed the dirt and are preparing a to frame the space for a concrete pour:


I saw them installing these curb and reflective pieces today on both sides of King where the spur line rail crosses. I guess it is to try and stop people from driving/walking/cycling along the rails?

Thank GOD. So sick of seeing this:



Why is the freight portion of this so wide, anyway? Or paved, for that matter? Freight doesnt need that much room, and people doing this wouldn't have been possible if they had made the freight ROW just as wide as the LRT ROW

I've wondered the same thing.  It looks as though the rail ROW is part of the drive aisle.
