It could loop back via the University of Waterloo Student Village area and follow the cenâ€" tral boulevard on Westmount Road and University Avenue to the original track, then head back to Waterloo Square. I submit that this system would (a) put Waterloo ahead of the rest of Canada, (b) avoid horribly expensive, _ property â€" destroying and quicklyâ€"obsolete roadâ€"widenâ€" ing projects, (c) fulfil a very real need, and (d) pay for itself both through fares and by rendering much roadâ€"building unnecessary.

If our leaders refuse to buy the monorail project, then why not try putting an ordinary bus, with flanged wheels, on the GRR tracks? This would make the trip from downtown Waterioo to the University in four or five minâ€" utes, avoiding all traffic jams, and to Lakeshore Village in a few minutes.
