Indeed! I've sat on a patio along a street with a tram, it was far less annoying than high volumes of car traffic.
I remember at the 2011 public Council meeting former mayor of Waterloo Joan McKinnon made an amazingly ridiculous presentation complaining about massive loud trains rolling up King St. and making the outdoor patios unuseable. OK, maybe true of constant large freight trains but the idea that an LRT lane is more obnoxious than a general traffic lane with trucks is just absurd. Some people don’t know when to stay retired. King St. will be wonderful with the LRT running up it. I just wish they had thought ahead when rebuilding the west side of the street. If those new buildings had been placed maybe 7m further back then there would have been plenty of room for both directions of LRT traffic to run on King St.
