ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I don't think anyone is saying Cambridge residents don't 'deserve' a train. The question is whether that is the best use of resources to serve a population like Camrbidge - both an extremely NIMBY populace and one that historically dislikes expansion AND one that is awkwardly spread out (maybe I haven't visited enough places in Canada). Hespeler road is like 'off the interstate 95' town vibes to be honest. Could a LRT change it? Maybe, but i dont see where homes and density could fit there, as a by product of bringing in a LRT.

How about Cambrisge come to the table and bring the fresh ideas? Along with some perspective on improving the homeless issue there.
