ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(04-27-2023, 02:29 PM)ac3r Wrote: For the price tag they're putting on it, I'd expect more than a shitty surface running LRT system with the tracks split up yet again. 4.5+ billion should be enough for an entire elevated metro or subway system. But this is Waterloo Region so I'm sure they'll find a way to screw it up and build the worst possible option available, should it ever get built.

The functional design have already been published, so, no, there's won't be any split tracks. The only contemplated change is moving the southern terminus from Bruce St. back to Ainslie Terminal.

Adding split sections would certainly require a recosting and an *increase* in the cost from otherwise unnecessarily duplicated stations and other items, to potentially a whole new TPA.
