ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[Elmiran]

Thank GOD. So sick of seeing this:



Why is the freight portion of this so wide, anyway? Or paved, for that matter? Freight doesnt need that much room, and people doing this wouldn't have been possible if they had made the freight ROW just as wide as the LRT ROW

I've wondered the same thing.  It looks as though the rail ROW is part of the drive aisle.

We eat at Famosa somewhat often and I've been confused too. Piles of people walk, drive and bike down the paved stretch. Watched an elderly couple struggle to walk down the drop at the ION station coming out of the mall. It's not obvious at all whether or not you can walk there. 

Also while eating there Sunday night the signals all along that stretch when haywire. Arms stuck halfway down, lights and bells going off, the traffic on Caroline and Erb was stopped for a bit too - no train in sight.
