Cambridge has also had to spend 50 years cobbling together a municipal identity. Waterloo didn't have to change much as it grew because the communities that it absorbed were pretty small. Kitchener just gobbled up everything including some larger villages until it hit Preston and Hespeler.
Cambridge also spent a lot of effort rearranging the downtowns of Preston and Galt to deal with older buildings and flood prevention.
But 2028 is only 5 years away now, which is in the range of time between the decision to choose LRT in the Region and put a shovel in the ground in Waterloo and Kitchener. And they didn't have to cross a major highway or river.
