The fact that they will be moving traffic along what has previously been a service road may have an impact on UW Plant Operations traffic (not to mention their central stores loading bays that front onto this laneway). I would hope that the road crossing would be limited to buses and service vehicles only.
I wonder which hats Tom Galloway was wearing if he took part in the negotiations between the Region and his employer, the University of Waterloo? Since he was, until he recently retired, a key figure in the Plant Operations department, it would have been difficult to separate himself from either side.
In the long term there may be buildings to support those functions. The blue outlines in the recent images that were posted seem to correspond to a planned engineering building and parking structure in UW's campus master plan:

All very good questions be raised by all.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
