General Road and Highway Discussion

[the_conestoga_guy]

It's not ideal, but speaking as someone currently navigating our nationally lowest vacancy rate for industrial space in the Waterloo Region, this is needed just the same as new housing to enable employment to continue coming to the region. I would much rather see industrial development on lands near the city than having all of our residents need to commute to Milton or Etobicoke for the same.

Now Phase 2 ION missing this employment centre of the region is another discussion I suppose.

Phase 2 Ion will have a stop at Sportsworld, right? I know it's not good enough (as usual), but it's something for this weird enclave area...

I don't mind the ION's proposed route through Sportsworld if it were also to include a small bus terminal. I'd love to see the Region move the existing terminal near the highway closer to the ION stops to allow for more seamless transfers. Throw in some high frequency bus trips through the Toyota/industrial/Hespeler area and suddenly things are looking pretty good.
