ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[dtkvictim]

The questions in the survey are laid out in a way so that you need to give a 1-10 score to an entire category, rather than indicate what you like and don't like about a proposal.

Yep, very poor survey. Every question has clearly positive and negative things bundled together in a single score. I complained and clarified in the text field response as well.

I also used the text box to provide context. Hopefully enough answers in a similar vein will get the message across.

I made it about 3 questions in before getting bored and closing it. They're going to screw it all up either way so it doesn't really matter.

Does anyone remember what the evening service frequency on the #7 was before the start of ION service?

If I'm reading the 2017 schedule correctly using the link that Bytor provided, after 9:00pm, weekday service was generally 15-minute headways leaving from the Charles Street terminal. Prior to that, departures were every 7-8 minutes during the weekday.

I'm not expert in survey design, but it seems like the way the questions are worded, they can derive any conclusion they would like from the results.

They’ve been watching their Yes Minister:

Freezing rain expected this afternoon. Is the anti-ice equipment finally ready?

Don't worry,

Don't worry, someone helpfully took out the system before the freezing rain arrived.

perhaps more hi-viz is necessary

No, perhaps a more difficult driving test !! This is ridiculous..

From what I see, looks like the SUV might have been traveling the wrong direction and had to take steps to avoid an oncoming vehicle...

If it comes down to painting some steel boxes bright yellow or training/allowing our civil engineers to build the right thing regardless of what councillors say, I’m gonna assume we are going to go with option 1

Seems they were departing the Bauer Lofts lot and somehow put on far more speed than was warranted, while steering the wrong way.

Impressive launch distance. Did better than the driver who tried to take out the power station at Block Line Rd. The anti-LRT lobby continues to execute their strategy.

And how the heck does that take out multiple independent catenary electrification sections all the down to Market Station and up to Laurier Station, as as well as multiple track switches?

I know we did this cut-rate, but come on.
