Ontario election results bode well for LRT
 |
| (RailwayAge, 2014) |
The province's Waterloo Region, including the municipalities of Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge, underwent a heated campaign where the ION LRT system, under construction since last August, was the pivotal political issue.
Ken Seiling, a pro-LRT candidate, was re-elected as Regional Municipality of Waterloo chairman, while Dave Jaworsky, another pro-LRT candidate, was elected mayor of Waterloo.
Cambridge, currently set to receive Bus Rapid Transit but eventually slated to be served by LRT, saw two regional council candidates opposed to rail defeated. Cambridge Mayor Doug Craig, who has protested his city's paying for LRT before it is served by same, was re-elected.
