#NEWS: Waterloo Regional Council voted 15-1 in favour of the full-route LRT extension to Cambridge, with construction planned to start as early as 2028. Many community members spoke in support of the extension, noting the need for equity, active transportation & housing density in Cambridge.

Making conclusions on the basis of data from these last few years is a fool’s errand. People stayed at home during the pandemic, WFH reshaped commuting, and we had a boom and bust in college enrollment.
And yet… ridership is above pre-pandemic. The city is growing around ION. It’s working!

Waterloo Regional government considers extending Ion rail transit into Cambridge despite the weak passenger response to rail transit in Kitchener-Waterloo.
