ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
There’s no one to advocate for the 24 routing because nobody does live there. It’s true that development seems to be at least as big a part of the goal as ridership. Moving people in the future, rather than moving people today.

I can see this, actually. The ridership on the 200 between south Kitchener and Cambridge probably doesn’t justify LRT: frequent bus service would be able to serve those riders. But, if we need to extend Ion to Cambridge (and we do), we might as well leverage an LRT’s ability to spur development. The place where that can happen is along Hespeler.
