ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

The frequency of freight trains is very small. I'd characterize it as negligible and insignificant. The frequency of LRTs along this track will be the same as on the rest of the double-tracked sections. So if fencing is required in Waterloo Park it should also be required everywhere else that's double-tracked. And as I said before there's going to be far more pedestrian traffic to "protect" along, say, King St than in the park. We need to stop this insanity (and waste of money.)

Yep. Probably starts by writing to councillors.
