ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[tomh009]

It's too bad that NOW is the time when they're examining this, because King DTK really would have been nice as pedestrian / LRT only, and made far more sense too.

I think the idea of sharing with cars are OK for DT area's. But LRT/Pedestrian only would have been a bad idea.

I think pedestrian/cyclist/transit streets can work well, once a city core reaches critical mass in terms of both residents and businesses. We are probably not there yet in Kitchener, though, and even less so in Waterloo.

But add SIXO, Charlie, 100 Victoria, Arrow 2, City Centre 2 and Drewlo, and it will be much closer.  Five years from now the situation may be very much different.  DTK is decisively on the upswing, and the momentum is strong now.
