ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I’m not an expert, so I’m not sure how well these would work for the LRT; but I do feel comfortable asserting that failure to use these on the freight track in the space between King and Regina was a mistake.

And yes, the weird shifting to the side where there is only one track is part of the issue. Has anybody heard any justification for that? In some places I think it’s OK, especially where it allows for a platform that is part of the sidewalk, but in other places it just seems pointless. I’m thinking especially of King St. between Allen and the railway tracks.
