ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Nothing about design language.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by design then. Almost every quality of the object (shape, size, colour, texture, material, positioning, spacing, form, etc.) is described:

• Digital display will be 32” (your favourite units of measure too!)
  
• Colour:preferred grey, can be black;
  
• orientation: both portrait and landscape;
  
• Antiglare screen;
  
• Existing infrastructure should be used 
  
• the horizontal canopy beam is recommended.
  
• Preferred 2.0 m clearance to be provided under signage housing. Portrait orientation preferred.
  

Will it have sleek and curvy lines or boxy and sharp edges? Who know that is to be determined; as long as it meets the other requirements anything goes.

There will likely have information displayed in a large AODA compliant font and display information in similar manner to the Nextbus screens in the terminals now.



I am getting frustrated seeing all the deficiency work being done on sidewalk panels that must only be out of compliance by millimetres or a degree or two of slope, but the major limitations in some of the station approaches (e.g. Willis Way, GRH) remain unaddressed. I guess that is the way it needs to be until the system is completely handed over and completed to "spec" since changes the original specifications is too costly.
