ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
#30
The categories in the evaluation weighted? I'm just curious how F2a became the preferred option at 7.5 "circles" when F1 had the name number of "circles."

Reading through the report it seems like council has hitched its wagon to the intensification of Hespeler and is willing to pound that square peg in to the round hole no matter what. I'm not saying that shouldn't be the goal and the opportunities along that category aren't higher, just that it seems like a lot of effort to get it over to that point.

I would support a stop at River and I had thought of one at the 401 too, but what would the 401 stop serve? A park and ride? Intercity bus? There's no easy connection to Conestoga College unless some sort of bus only lane was added along the 401.

The Coronation route presented above is interesting. 


In general I am pretty please with the art selections. I was disappointed that the Lucent Observatory and Digital Sun were not selected.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
