Hidden away quietly in this document; 6 years later, we’ll finally see the temporary speed restrictions at Traynor removed, allowing full 70 km/h ops (currently 20 km/h) on the hydro corridor #wrLRT
In the Region of Waterloo, a Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom LRV glides into Grand River Hospital station.
Note how it cruises smoothly through every intersection, thanks to full Transit Signal Priority.
In Waterloo, the LRT doesn’t stop for cars.

Transit Signal Priority on ion Light Rail, Region of Waterloo, Ontario (2019).
Trains use a horizontal (stop) or vertical (go) white aspect bar, instead of red or green.
The trains follow a wave and do not stop between stations.
Toronto planners, please come here!

Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom 508 glides past the Perimeter Institute, into Waterloo Park. #wrLRT
UW & Region of Waterloo should host #CanadaDay back at Columbia Lake again. It was the perfect location for a large party.
Riverside Park neighbourhood in Cambridge is too cramped/has too few access points.
Columbia Lake is even a 15 min stroll from a #wrLRT station.

How much do these #wrLRT crashes cost the region, and how much does one of those no right/no left turn LED signs cost? Let's install permanent LED signs at problematic intersections.

Freezing rain has halted trolleys a number of times since the service launched in 2019.
In 2023, Karen Redman told CTV News: "We’re working with the manufacturer to find ways that we can combat ice forming on the lines so that there are fewer interruptions”

WATCH: ice buildup on #wrLRT power lines created a light show in #Kitchener Saturday night 💥⚡
Another terrible driver drove into the path of an oncoming #wrLRT in downtown Kitchener.
At this point, it's not like it even snuck up on the bad driver. There is a long straight set of tracks from Victoria St. to get to this intersection.
