General University Area Updates and Rumours

[bravado]

Someone please explain to me why Waterloo always gets the major regional infrastructure projects. LRT, Transit Yard, Hospital, now an emergency services facility.  It makes no sense to have all these services in the north end of the region  when a hug part of the regions population is south of Waterloo.  Waterloo gets to reap the development fees, taxed and the impact on local economy.  Enough already, spread the wealth

1. Universities are big money operations with a big orbit of more money, other than Toyota in Cambridge, nothing is close in terms of dollars + influence in the region.

2. Presumably the transit yard has to go at the end of the LRT line... There's another transit operations centre in Cambridge, they just kinda go where the big empty industrial land is.

3. The hospital is genuinely a question mark to me, I still don't get it. It still seems like a choice made because land was available, not because growth or population is expected to be nearby.
