Regional committee voted 15 to 1 in favour of a full light rail extension of ION to downtown Cambridge! To be fully ratified on November 19, but this is huge and a united front will help make the case for funding.

Fun Fact: Ever heard of the proposed GO Transit Kitchener-London Line? This line was proposed by the Government of Ontario in 2014 as a way to enhance transit connectivity between these cities after the Toronto-London High Speed Rail Line opened.
This line was never built.
