I am seeing some residential access in Kitchener and specifically the new density in the condos going up in the core. Otherwise, is the thought really that high tech workers are going to drive to a park and go type set up and ride the train to work, or are they expected to grab a bus and transfer onto the Ion?
I don't see that this is different than people commuting anywhere else on ION, other than the way the R&T Park is sprawled out. And yes, I can picture a quite realistic scenario of people choosing to live in downtown Kitchener or uptown Waterloo, and take the train to work there. It's only a ten-minute walk from the LRT stop to most offices there.
