ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(10-30-2019, 09:39 AM)robd Wrote: The sportsworld stop is a disaster unless the transit terminal moves, its a 500m walk and a crossing of what is effectively a highway. This is a stop that could really benefit from being a park and ride location. Given that Galt gets two stops 700m from each other then the 500m to a major transit terminal seems unwise.

500m walk ... from where?

The impact (and design) of the LRT is not a five-year horizon, figure on 10-20 years. You have seen it in Kitchener and Waterloo, intensification will come. The routing is based on where we expect to see more intensification, not on optimizing to current buildings.
