The ION stop anchor wall concept report is now available: http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/...mittee.pdf
There's also some insight into how the stop design has evolved over all. I've been told these renders are somewhat cut-down in detail (being focused on the anchor walls) but they're fairly representative. It's nice to see that the stops appear to have at least a small enclosed shelter area, and they're being roughed in for power for heating and data for future interactive stuff.
Let the subjective judgement of the anchor walls begin! I'll start: I like them, mostly. I really like the way they present a large easily visible visual element.
Extra tidbit: the GRH stop has been shifted, again. The hospital emergency entrance will remain where it is (not on Mount Hope) and Pine St. will be a signalled intersection.
