I mean, low bar, but nice to clear it.
I think the Waterloo ION is a pretty good project, there's some room for improvement. Some of those spaces for improvement are annoying obvious...but it's not the white elephant that a lot of people seem to want to believe, nor is it the white elephant that some other projects actually are.
But I think the same is true of the new LRT lines in Toronto....although their failings (which again, are easily corrected) are more dire...the idea that they wouldn't be corrected...well it's something that's hard to believe, and yet it's equally hard to believe they were ever built that way in the first place.
