ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I think the idea with the 24 alignment is it will spurn commercial development instead of all these little car dealerships and fast food joints. I don't see it personally. It's beyond repair. Nobody is riding transit there, it's all built for cars and parking lots and everything is too far apart (bad walkability - look at the smart centre). Preston on the other hand is dense, has lots of (forgive me) people who could probably really use transit, and the coronation could be a high speed section down the centre with just one stop at the hospital and then another at the Delta. One or two in downtown Preston.

I too took Benton/Charles pics tonight but as we've got a bit of an overload on those I'll abstain from posting them. Smile

All the track ties are across for the Seagram south track and one rail is in across the road.
