One more piece of the puzzle that is Waterloo Region’s Ion light rail transit system has fallen into place.
A list of recommended names for the system’s 19 stops was made public Friday.
According to a report from the region’s transportation development, the names were designed to be short, descriptive and named after nearby landmarks when possible.

- Conestoga (at Conestoga Mall)
- Northfield (Northfield Drive near Highway 85)
