ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

There are numerous examples of why this is poorly done, the temporary wooden structure is anti-pedestrian, the connection between the crossing and the sidewalk is poorly aligned, the use of accessibility plates makes no sense, and the fence is something that should never have happened.

None of this means it isn't a crossing, but I'm not impressed.

I am utterly sick and tired of excuses for why our region is anti-pedestrian.
