Semi-serious question. If Cambridge doesn't want to run LRT through Preston, why extend the route to Cambridge at all? If it gets the point where we are offered provincial funding and we are still undecided on a route through Cambridge, I'm of the opinion that should extended as far as the 401 and a build a transit terminal and Park and Ride. Having an ION park and ride down by Gateway Park is a far better opition for those coming from out of town thanks the current terminus at Fairway. As a "Fairness for Cambridge" measure the region could also lobby the province to commit funds for the Cambridge East Boundary road as a way to get Provincial truck traffic off Hespeler Rd and Franklin Blvd.
