ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[Markster]

I can only guess that it is to allow buses to turn onto Gaukel from King, and then into the terminal. 

There is so much construction going on that it makes sense to do even small mitigation for (bus) travel times whenever possible.

GRT has chosen to avoid all the "closed" roads indefinitely, regardless of their passability.

Notice how 2 blocks of Charles, from Ontario to Benton, has been undisturbed? It is still covered under the blanket "Road closure" that was introduced in March. GRT is still running routes on detour to avoid it despite that it adds several minutes to run around the Queen-Courtland-Benton block. Even the 200, which has no stops inbetween, is running that detour.

I brought this up when I met them in person regarding the 204, and even for the 200, they wanted to maintain consistency.
