ION Stage I: what would you do differently?
#27
I think it's super easy to be critical of everything wrong with the LRT design, etc., and say "this is what I would have done different.." But, here we go.

1) Trains could go faster, especially along some stretches.
2) Traynor Ave, the lack of crossing, was a huge mistake.
3) Better co-ordination with traffic lights.
4) On the expensive side: They could have put the LRT underground through DTK - Central Station to Charles. But this likely would have killed the project due to costs.
5) The Uptown Waterloo set-up is, weird. But I have no ideas what could have been down.
6) I think they should have spent extra money at each station to offer better protection from weather.
