-Noise bylaw exemption passed a few weeks ago, so GrandLinq can work around the clock in UpTown.
-There was a 2nd hole (actually the first) at Erb/Caroline that is already filled in. I now bike through here almost daily and can confirm that every day a ton of work is going on here.
-Double time is awesome. Especially on a holiday. I talked to one employee from Aecon on Sunday who was out exploring the line on his own since he just got called in from Calgary.
-I wasn't aware that all of the crews were from Quebec - certainly everyone I've spoken to seemed "local English" - fully aware that means very little in a country as diverse as ours
there are crews of specialists though from all over the world here, doing "their thing". You can't just have any Joe blow off the street stringing catenary or installing track switch gear. Curbs, yes (I was actually approached while taking pictures one day and offered a job to pour curbs on the spot! Guess I look the part.
