ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(07-30-2017, 03:28 PM)ijmorlan Wrote: OK, thanks, that makes sense. I only read a page or two around the linked one and it seemed relatively reasonable.

I’m just glad construction is nearly done. Overall, it’s a big improvement, and I personally think that even with my various complaints it’s already a big improvement in many places even without service actually running (e.g., I think King St. is much nicer now than before). Looking forward to testing and then service beginning.

This I entirely agree with. Despite the irrational doomsaying about it being two lanes, it makes the road far more pleasant to use as a pedestrian (or even a cyclist I would guess). The excessive lights near the hospital aside, I think the road probably functions better than it did. And uptown is of no comparison whatsoever.

I am anxious to get the rest of King improved similarly up to University...and hopefully one day, through on till the MUTs begin.
