ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I'm just an interested observer and looking forward to the change that this will all bring, but I'm sitting and watching them dig up the exact same stretch on Caroline at Allen for the third time in 10 months. I'm sure there's a reason, as I know next to nothing about this type of infrastructure construction. But surely, this is a redundancy of some sort? I haven't seen them pull out any other debris from the ground, except copious amounts of dirt. They've dug a 10 feet wide trench, laid down a black, flexible tubing of some sort and then covered most of it back up. I would've thought that whatever underground upgrading that was to have been done, would've been completed ages ago.

Secondly, with construction now at the intersection of Allen and King, the road closure sign is in front of the Adult Rec Centre, and not back up at William. There's been a parade of cars, dodging through the Brick Brewery parking lot, then into the back of the Adult Rec Centre and out at the corner of Caroline and Allen. Confusing to say the least.
