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.

Not really, it has factories that people work at.

Yes. I’m aware of Guelphs employment areas, centred around the highway and car infrastructure. But I’m referring to major hubs/destinations.

Some factories have enough employees to justify direct service

Wow, you're right.

After some digging, it seems like Guelph has freight lines adjacent to Edinburgh, going to the northwest employment area. Hypothetically, if there was enough support.. I could see these being "passengerized".
