Hey everyone,
I have an idea for something, but I'm not really savvy with computer graphics programs. I think it would be great to have a "live document" that we could all contribute to, that would be a map of the route and we could mark it up showing construction progress. I think everyone checks out their own favourite sections of the route (like Markster goes along the Laurel Trail in uptown waterloo, KevinL posts about the work on Caroline, I drive up to the OMSF a lot...), so if we could all have access to some kind of map we could colour-code in like, where they are at with each section. Red line could be ground/dirt work, blue line could be services and utility work, green line could indicate the completed track, that kind of thing. Right now there would just be a green line from the OMSF South to behind McCormic Arena, and then very short green lines at Bearanger, Columbia, and University crossings, etc...
What do you think? Or is this a job for a multi-contributor Goggle Map?
Edit - Looks like Google Maps is the way to go! I've used the Functional Design Drawings to lay out the route as a layer; Blue is the route, red is ground prep, yellow is completed track.
