ION Stage I: what would you do differently?

The parking garage and main entrance are already accessible at Green Street, and the entrance off King is unnecessary. By closing this entrance, you create the room to fix the grading to enable a connection to the Emergency side, which already has a connection from Mount Hope...I think removing both those signals is feasible.
Yes. Thank you. I am surprised this is not brought up more. There is a ridiculous amount of lights along what should be one of the fastest stretches of the LRT.  I somewhat understand the one at KCI and Central Fresh.  The visitor entrance to the hospital is just mind boggling? why would the entrance not be moved off green? Pine has to remain because of the location of the ER. Mt. Hope is unnecessary and is only a light to give hospital workers easier access to the parking lot. Hopefully the area is rethought through in the future or when we eventually redevelop/revamp our aging hospital.  

Overall I am happy the system got built, but I realize there are some thing that could be improved to increase accessibility and speed.
