But I don't think anyone is even slightly willing to propose it. I'm so tired of planning for failure.
You didn't hear this from me:
Stage 3 Ion (2030's) will be from Victoria and IRA Needles in Kitchener to Guelph, ending a UoG. Stations are at Victoria and IRA Needles (or potentially the Boardwalk), Victoria and Fischer-Hallman, Victoria and Westmount, Victoria and King, Victoria and Lancaster, River Road, Bingemans, Breslau, then in Guelph; Woodlawn and Imperial, Woodlawn at Hanlon, Hanlon and Willow, Hanlon and Wellington, Stone Road Mall (Edinburgh), then UoG (Gordon).
Highway 7 can't be improved further without disrupting this stage 3.
It's part of the regional transit improvement for the tri-cities and Guelph.
I mean, that's a nice pipe dream lol. But it bugs the hell out of me that we don't have real transit right now. This is 100% about will, and 0% about ability, there is no reason that Metrolinx or GRT or GT couldn't start running a bus between the cities literally tomorrow.
