ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(05-23-2017, 08:19 PM)Pheidippides Wrote: Allen and GRH were getting their tactile edges and final concrete surfaces today.

The GRH has this oddity at its north end:


So the platform levels off at track height, but there are no curb cuts on the either side of the road (inner or outer). So the only way to "legally" enter the platform coming from Union is to walk all the way to the south entrance at Pine.

But there are tactile strips between the tracks, on both sides, which are supposed to indicate the beginnings of pedestrian crossings. I wonder what is going on here? Given those tactile strips I would expect to see crossings to the sidewalks and more tactile strips on the sidewalks (I mean, completely independent of my expectation that in almost all situations LRT platforms should be accessible from both ends).
