Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

Those blue buildings in eeh lower left seem to be on the ION LRT park 'n' go lot?

This was my first thought too.... How are you going to develop land that isn't yours.

My second thought is the iON extention.  Is it designed to continue straight out like that?  And if so, why didn't we bury the hydro lines further, instead of brining them above ground on the future route?

What I would say to this is. With the extension out to cambridge a park and ride isn't super necessary at this location. They could easily have a parking at sports world or at hespler rd. Also with a development of regional land they could probably stipulate a minimum amount of parking be available in underground parking for transit users.

To your second point. I believe it will be moved across fairway in phase 2 of the ion. Probably didn't do it in phase 1 for cost reasons.i suspect the region had to pay for the hydro line being buried. It looks pretty ridiculous right now. Its basically right in front of the main entrance of mall.
