ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(11-02-2018, 10:32 AM)KevinT Wrote: I noticed this at the University Ave crossing on two separate occasions a few weeks ago, and there the pedestrian signal continued to block both pedestrians and cars for an extended period of time, like 3 or 4 extra minutes.

There's clearly integration between the rail signals box and the street signals box, but they're probably under two different jurisdictions which means getting it sorted out is going to be painful.  I fear that each side will simply finger point to the other before grudgingly agreeing to sit down together and work it out.  Hopefully that won't be the case.

I tried calling the region to report the University one, but all they would say is 'testing is active in that area'.  Not even a thank you, or a "we'll take that under advisement".  Sad

I think that's been fixed? I was checking how long the gates and signals were blocking this week and it seemed just right.
