Stage 2 ION

As part of the Transit Project Assessment (TPA) Process, we want your feedback about the Stage 2 ION LRT project so we can identify issues that may need further consideration in the next design phase.

Your responses may be disclosed verbatim as part of a summary report. Any information you provide will remain confidential, meaning that any identifying information will be removed from the summary report. A small number of staff and the Region's consultant will have access to the data. The summary report may be shared publicly on the Region’s website, Engage Waterloo Region project page and/or reported to Regional Council. 

Feedback can be provided online by completing the following form, or by emailing the project team at Stage2ION@regionofwaterloo.ca. The feedback form will be active until May 6, 2021.
