ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
If conestoga were to be served it would actually have to detour off of Homer watson quite some way, the campus itself is a suburban wasteland. The 'density' node at Conestoga College Blvd and Homer Watson has even struggled to support any commercial for quite some time. Peavymart/TSC, McDonalds, Tims and a gas station were all that has really been there with the dead plaza only being revitalized recently. I doubt many of those existing businesses get any foot traffic. Unless the campus were to be redeveloped or the LRT routed into the campus and across a new bridge to the Cambridge campus we wouldn't much foot traffic to the actual line. Conestoga doesn't seem to have the will or desire to expand that campus, they have been putting programs everywhere else recently... downtown, university ave, the other end of Fountain over the 401.
