ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Is there a list of low-cost housing that has been lost due to LRT-related development?  I don't think WRC has a gentrification thread.   In Kitchener, the losses seem to me to be fairly limited so far, but I haven't been paying a lot of attention.  There have been a few renovations in DTK, which I suppose would be in the category of "gentrification" (perhaps more than I realized?).  There is also the move of One Roof Youth Services, I suppose.  On the other side, I'm not aware of any proposals for new public housing, new co-ops, or rent-geared-to-income projects in the Downtown area.

Thinking about it, I guess the renovation of the Windemere Apartments at 48 Weber St W would be DTK's biggest example of a gentrification project to date.
