ION Stage I: what would you do differently?
#13
I never quite understood the requirement to keep roads as two-way along the entire length. Charles St could have worked as a bi-directional LRT corridor and sped up travel through downtown.

The Waterloo Park station should have been at University and not Seagram. Tried to get that fixed in phase 1 but will likely need to wait until phase 3 when an interchange stage is needed at University/ION

Also, this series of curves is THE WORST. It can take 2 minutes just to get through this section and limits the use of ATC. I hope they fix it by acquiring some land when they do the refurb. It is almost always faster to me to get Route 6 through downtown to Fairway than it is to take the train.
