Summer starts after the election...

Good luck in the traffic jams caused by the hairpin in Belfountain: https://goo.gl/maps/5DqDD7ySRsBqotjz9

I had a trip take 4 hours a few years ago when the Kitchener -> Union express was delayed over 2 hours by weather related equipment delays. I was very happy to get off the train that morning.I was very thankful I had a decent data plan at the time. But having only 5 hours in the office that day...

I'm assuming it's Wilson street https://goo.gl/maps/vbN43tYysdJ265N46

Waterloo region paid for the hydro lines to be buried so the LRT could travel along the corridor. https://goo.gl/maps/xc4EKMhTcFTodWM68

I saw a similar concept in France: https://goo.gl/maps/cd7BfdKxWQGTAxJU8

In England I saw a service centre that spanned the highway. I didn't go up to see if any services were on the bridge, but it's pretty wide: https://goo.gl/maps/CYBRMceX9QpEKR9C8

A few years ago, I was running along this path to catch a train with the ridiculously short connection time provided by GRT (4 minutes if the stars aligned, typically much less) and ripped my jeans jumping the barrier in the parking lot. Not a great experience overall.

Likely just outside of the map. I think it's safe to assume there will be a way to get down to the same level as the MUT that's being built over there.

The SB Ion will be accessible by a bridge to be built alongside the rail overpass. The north platform will be accessible through a tunnel at Waterloo Street. Source: site plan / traffic flow in the drawing package: https://www.engagewr.ca/king-victoria-transit-hub

Old vs new

There was an iXpress that was scheduled to arrive just in time for the 6:05 GO express, but I typically found myself running from the stop to the train with generally less than 30 seconds to spare. GRT has since removed this trip.

The Station street / Chemaushgon Road intersection is very confusing if you've never been there before. I worked at one of the Ontario Travel Information Centres in my younger years and was trying to explain to a group how to get to a camp past the airport. I think I left them more confused...

Have all the MTO electronic signs gone, for the most part, travel time information only since Dumpster Fire took office? The one on 7/8 in Kitchener used to be primarily public safety messages (arrive alive, wear a seatbelt, etc), but since late 2018/early 2019, it's been travel times only...

Sometimes I love AI subtitles: "first we have to complete bacon course". I agree. Bacon /always/ comes first.

Preferred designs of the transit hub are available and will be put out for public input: https://calendar.regionofwaterloo.ca/Council/Detail/2020-01-14-0900-Planning-and-Works-Committee/cc792a48-7b30-4261-ae7d-ab3b01030622#page=102

The gap will go from exit 282 (Hespeler) - exit 320 (25). Pending Dumpster Fire, the stretch from Hespeler to Townline road (286) was supposed to be widened next.

We're supposed to see a "Southwestern Ontario Transportation Plan to be released in fall 2019", so I'm assuming anything west of MIlton will be included in there. This government hasn't updated the southern/northern highway improvement plans since taking office, so who knows what their actual...
