ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

As we have seen along the hydro corridor even a fence is not enough to discourage people from crossing at unsafe locations

A fence or railing will discourage people but it will not prevent people from unsafe crossing.  A railing might drop unsafe crossings from 10% to 1%; in that case, it would be well worth while.  (The numbers are purely hypothetical.)

There just doesn't seem to be a lot of expansion room for some of the stations if they are the single length (i.e. Queen station).

Single-length only.  If we reach capacity, they will add frequency rather than extending the train sets, which really makes sense to me, at least for the next few decades.
