ION Stage I: what would you do differently?
#75
I'm in agreement with ac3r here. My biggest issue is grade separation. I understand that probably wasnt even on the radar for cost reasons, and thankfully theres some grade separation for the second phase like the fairway rd crossing.

The 3 most egregious intersections, are on wilson st right at the Fairview terminal, then just after that the crossing at courtland.

The northfield drive intersection is also pretty bad. Ideally away around those woulda been great. Burying it through Downtown kitchener would've been awesome but no one would've gone for that unfortunately.

My biggest problem with the speed overall is not the top speeds, but how many tight turns slow it down, I wish there were more gradual turns which would allow them to maintain a higher average speed
