If you prefer a more descriptive document with less reliance on diagrams, the second half of this one highlights the main areas well and includes things like bridge cross-sections and road layouts. https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/livin...access.pdf
Interesting, thanks. I still can't get over the fact they plan to run the LRT through the centre of a roundabout...like come on. The point in a roundabout is to essentially keep traffic from ever do more than slow to yield (except when they stop to let a pedestrian cross), but now we'll have a disruption every 10/15 minutes as the thing traverses it at a snails pace through there.
If there is any single place worth making a short tunnel for, it's here. People are going to hate it, but hey we save a few bucks, I guess.
As long as people are able to follow the rules (which is a big assumption), then roundabouts have a big advantage in transit signal priority, since there is no competing signal.
