There are fewer businesses on Main Street meaning the impact on the city's tax base will be minimized.

Cuts both ways.

it would be interesting to look at how the construction was phased in a project like Waterloo's Ion. On a 19 km rail line, it's hard for me to imagine that the whole line will be significantly closed off for the whole construction period - once tracks are installed wouldn't it just be at station locations where the work would go on longer? Not to mention that the whole route wouldn't be done in one shot. E.G. when Toronto repairs streetcar tracks they just close one section for a weekend or a week, and reopen it before moving on to another section at a later time.
