ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Grade separations for crossing a track the LRT runs alongside may be easier if the crossing is not done until a parallel stretch. For example, rather than having the LRT cross the CP line near Fairview, have it stay on the north side until the combined corridor has crossed King; there is a good straight stretch before River where the geometry is more straightforward to tunnel the LRT under rail line and have it then be on the south side.

The Cambridge geometries are not as forgiving, however. Active rail lines cross Eagle twice, one of which is just metres from the Speed River floodplain; a spur also crosses Hespeler Road just south of Eagle though it could perhaps be more easily controlled. There's no easy answer on these areas.
