Here's what I think he is describing:
I'm sure the MTO will have no concerns with the elevated-in-median LRT on the freshly rebuilt 401.
So the point of this proposal, shown on the map, thanks Mark, is to NOT go where any people live and spend more money because some people don't want LRT where people live. I always thought transit was for moving people not constructed or to be built in a population desert.
We should be using transit as a connecting infrastructure between the cities of Cambridge (Preston) and Kitchener not using the 401 as a divider. These protesting voices are the same as it was in Phase One when system being planned/built for the future of the Region. Unfortunately most people don't see beyond their backyards in this case. I don't remember any person or business taking action that the money paid for expropriated property was too small.
Lastly, pandering Preston and Cambridge politicians who want to be elected or re-elected to council jobs in 2018. Five+ years ago they were all complaining about being left out of the LRT development.
