ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

(Why 2047?  Are you extrapolating the 30-year life expectancy of embedded track to the stations as well?)

Putting a station anywhere that the track is not straight is quite unlikely. There would have to be a truly overriding reason to make any change to the track alignment. For better or for worse the LRT alignment we have now will probably be with us for a century or more. Even if it gets removed due to self-driving cars or something (yeah, right!*), the route will still be visible for a long time afterward.

* The “yeah, right!” is about self-driving cars causing the LRT to be unnecessary. I won’t be at all surprised to see self-driving cars on the road, although I will be moderately surprised if they arrive in general use as soon as enthusiasts think.
