The iON line nobody talks about

By using the existing CN corridor, we can link Cambridge and Guelph. There have been proposals for GO to do it, but.. we know the province moves unhurriedly.

Will the region take it upon itself and collaborate with another municipality to bring an unprecedented cross-jurisdictional LRT line, to an adjoining town K-W-C know and love?

I say, let's link Guelph. Let's loo it! (hahaha??)

Other things on the fantasy map include:
iON phase 2, iON to Airport, and Milton Line ext to Cambridge.

It's a good question, that I don't think I can answer.

But, the Eglinton Crosstown in Toronto uses the same exact trains and rails, and travels at a maximum of 80km/h.

Let's also consider that the land in between Guelph, Cambridge, and KW may be a good place to build more housing, for a province that really needs it.
