ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(09-22-2017, 01:04 PM)KevinL Wrote: So I was just at Waterloo Square and I looked over the track situation a bit. Thre's a curb at the edge of the parking lot and then the freight tracks are at the higher level, with the concreted LRT tracks flush with that asphalt.

The best solution seems to be a low fence or railing along that curb (they could even tie into the railing at the Famoso patio). This gives a clear visual barrier to passage and delineates things in an intuitive way.

That would block pedestrian access to the southeast corner of the parking lot. They would either have to walk around the north end of the buildings on King, or walk to the far west end of the LRT platform. There needs to be a crossing between that corner of the parking lot and the public square, as there is de facto right now.

The real problem is that the design is a screw-up.
