ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(02-07-2018, 07:23 PM)Canard Wrote: YouTube searches will reveal identical operation all across the continent.  The FRA (and consequently, the TSSA) seem to be exceptionally cautious around railway crossings.

You would think that the current transit friendly federal government would initiate the process of revising the rail rules to grant exceptions for transit projects.

I suspect the bells will be the number one complaint, followed closely by the squealing, once the system is running. The original drawings showed a noise barrier between the tracks and Quiet Pl, but that never got built. Those living there will here two sets of bells 20+ hrs a day every 4 minutes.

The warming tents near the public square are indeed gone.
   

   
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
