New infrastructure funding -- in Waterloo Region?

[MacBerry]

Their platform specifically called for an additional $20 billion for public transit over ten years. LRT (in Surrey) is an example given there.

This might be an opportunity to have Phase II funded.

My comment here is totally opinion based on no facts, #IMHO:

Phase II expansion? - I don't see Waterloo Region LRT phase II happening or even starting until at least 2020. This will give everyone involved in the policy, planning and operations sides about 2-3 years of user data and uptake data. 

This structural gap will also allow for evaluation of the current LRT installed equipment and also to understand the durability and performance of LRT units purchased (and delivered???)  and how they are actually operating. 

Lastly it will also give the region and the various city economic development arms a better understanding of the land use evolution and the infill that does or does not take place.
