ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
I've always considered the real problem with Cambridge the fact that they are still essentially just 3 towns shoved together, who haven't become a cohesive whole yet. In KW, there is a downtown and an uptown along the same street, but each individual city only has ONE city centre. Cambridge has three. They are all trying to keep their own feel and vibe, are probably competing against each other for resources and foot traffic, and are spaced out far enough that connecting them in a logical way is not particularly feasible within the limitations of cost and disruption. Of course Hespeler residents aren't going to be particularly in favour of the LRT, it doesn't even stop anywhere near their Queen Street centre.

In a perfect world where I get to decide what kind of transit this region gets, Cambridge would get its own LRT loop that hits all three city centres, and have a station where you can transfer to the KW LRT branch.
