ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(10-30-2015, 01:49 AM)notmyfriends Wrote: Wasnt there a pretty document that walked through short/medium/long (pie in the sky) redevelopment plans for Hespeler road and Fairway road and other areas? Had a bunch of high rises and what not filling up the Cambridge Centre parking lot etc.

Don't know about a document, but there was an article about a public information session that had a model, I think. All very generic, but still promising. Cambridge Centre would be the best place to start; build parking garages behind HBC and Target Zellers the Halloween store and the entire front lot could be replaced by higher buildings. The west side is going to be challenging because of the creek flood plain, but they could offset that by creating a linear park between Eagle and Dunbar; they can sell for a premium.

It's the best place for LRT to go, really. King Street is too narrow and I can't see the people on Coronation *not* going NIMBY about light rail taking up their front lawns.
