ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

If there is actually a real silver bullet that the Dutch use to make their roads better, it's that they're willing to close intersections. Yeah, you have to drive a little farther (which makes walking and biking more attractive) but since the road grid is less complicated there's less infrastructure, fewer intersections, and safer roads as a result.
The only allowed left turn movement there is from Agnes to King. Realistically this movement can be moved to Wellington.

If emergency vehicles still need access they can add flex bollards.
