That's true. Even without that, I think they'd expand it to Cambridge regardless. It's the second largest city in the region in both population and area with a huge manufacturing/industrial economy that pumps money into the region. Yet, it remains very disconnected from Kitchener and Waterloo, especially when it comes to transit. It may have seemed like Cambridge didn't want the LRT but I sense that those opposing voices were amplified louder than they actually were. When I was working at the UW School of Architecture for a short time, many of the students were investigating the viability of an LRT here (in the region and Cambridge) and a surprising amount of people in the community were for it because the only way between the cities is by car or two single bus routes.
