ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Marketer, on UrbanToronto, you said:

Quote:They built this station with two side platforms, to reduce the property impact at the mall.

...with regard to the terminus stations.

I don't understand; to me, the property impact is significantly greater with outboard platforms. A centre platform can be one "unit" wide (in theory). In reality it's probably 1.5 units wide. But outboard requires 2 units of platforms.

Or do you mean because the length of the whole thing is greater because the tracks have to spread prior to going in? And that's why there's a special super-compact No. 5 crossover at Conestoga?
