ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(10-04-2025, 10:37 AM)Momo26 Wrote: Now the concept that the majority of public transit in a big city serves ubran dwellers isn't new, but the number of above will still likely come at quite a surprise. If you want people to give up or park the car and get on, they need a viable place to do so.

I've been a proponent of building 'tentacles' to serve the main ION artery, such that 10s of thousands of more people can consider an up-to 15min walk to start their public transit journey to work/school/wherever.  (Would need 8 to 12 tentacles ideally IMO).

Brings us back to the Cambridge argument. So the idea is similar, a stick down Hespeler? The least pedestrian friendly Ontarion street out there?

Can't really use 250m to get the 4% number when you agree in this post that it's up to 15 minutes, which is more like 1km. I do have a math degree, so I know that quadrupling the radius gives you 16 times as much area.
