RE: Trails - clasher - 08-25-2018 Yeah a new bridge would be pricey but I wonder why they couldn't just deck over the existing part and remove the silly narrow-gauge track? Not an engineer but it doesn't seem like that part of the bridge would be any more unsafe than the part in use, it used to be double-tracked when the GRR ran trains through there. RE: Trails - Canard - 08-25-2018 Maybe it doesn’t meet current standards, so modifications can’t be done because it couldn’t be certified? RE: Trails - TMKM94 - 08-27-2018 Does anyone know why the new garbage cans for the Iron Horse Trail on Gage Ave are still wrapped up? Garbage is piling on top of them. It's been like that for over a month now, Did someone just forget to take the wrapping off them? Are all the Garbage cans wrapped still? RE: Trails - panamaniac - 08-27-2018 Possibly no arrangements yet in place to have them emptied? RE: Trails - Canard - 08-27-2018 Argh. This kind of stuff is so stupid and just shows how programmed people are. They’ll just throw trash at a trash can regardless if it’s obviously not in service yet or not. RE: Trails - Canard - 08-27-2018 Update from the Region regarding the Spur Line Trail light outage: Quote:UPDATE: This is being looked into. Staff hope to check circuit panel box today to determine if it has been vandalized again or if there is a problem with power supply. Ref: https://twitter.com/regionwaterloo/status/1034134260058271745?s=21 RE: Trails - Canard - 08-28-2018 Quote:UPDATE: Staff were out looking at the electrical box yesterday. Two locks were broken and it appears vandalism has struck again. An electrician has been called to assess the damage and repair. Ref: https://twitter.com/regionwaterloo/status/1034529094082260992?s=21 RE: Trails - Viewfromthe42 - 08-28-2018 It's really strange how vandals would destroy one particular row of lights continuously.

I'm not totally shocked that there would be targeted vandalism here. Residents on this street have not been polite in their disagreement with lighting the trail. They believe their right not to need curtains on their windows trumps the right of people to use the trail. I've been told this very explicitly. RE: Trails - Canard - 08-28-2018 I've reached out to ask if WRPS has been alerted to the vandalism.

Given there's a median a good foot into the trail, I don't think much thought or consideration has gone into any of it.

Re-route wasn't the best word choice, more like adding a chicane (I highlighted those potential gates I mentioned earlier): You can see the part of the island and bollards that stick out in to the current trail that Dan mentioned. So the new routing resolves that problem, but creates new ones:
RE: Trails - KevinL - 08-30-2018 Depends on what's used to replace and/or supplement the locks, I imagine. |
