Northfield would be nearly unusable in one direction with the signals down half the time during rush hour in addition to any pedestrian crossings.

3 things to know before the Ion launches

If you go to Europe the wait before and after any LRTs, it is seconds not minutes. These "goals" or times would be causing revolts by bicyclists and by vehicles ... You would think this new LRT was the invention of LRT travel and city life  Confused
