Seems like they should have figured this out when building Ion but hopefully they can get it added soon.

Good. It is needed there. Most people getting off ION cross there anyway.
I just submitted a “Support” response. The form isn’t very good however — takes forever to come up, then doesn’t have space for general comments, then the “thank you” page says “Change the text for this message”. Not a very impressive effort.
My main comment would be that the crossing should be in line with the existing crossing over the LRT tracks, so people who just want to cross the street and LRT can do so more conveniently.
Secondary comment: what sort of investigation will take place to understand how such an obviously needed crossing was omitted from the LRT plans? One doesn’t need to be a traffic engineer to see upon a cursory inspection of the plans that it is needed.
