Cycling in Waterloo Region

[timc]

On another tangent, I wonder how ION will mitigate passenger disembarkment/cyclist collisions.   It seems to happen at least weekly with the TTC.   For most cyclists and transit users who use common sense, it shouldn't be an issue.   Perhaps some idiot-proofing in advance would prove beneficial.

Uh... well, in most cases, ION will be using a dedicated platform, that cyclists would have no reason to be on, unless they were getting on/off the train.
In a few other cases, the platform is part of the sidewalk, and I'm not particularly aware of an epidemic of people getting off buses getting run down by sidewalk cyclists, so I imagine it will be fine.

I see people step off GRT buses all the time without looking where they are going, and yes, almost getting run over or run into. This particularly happens a lot near the universities. But I don't think that ION will make this any more of an issue.
