ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Rebar pads are laid along the majority of Caroline, track should start going in over the next few days.

The SB lane of King St now has curbs on both the inner and outer edges, from KCI to Wellington. It's ready for paving! Not sure if that's the next step, or if they'll wait until the NB lanes are done.

Water St was reopened today to through traffic. Francis closes tomorrow.

The forms are now off the Victoria Park station, and it looks great! There's some rebar sticking up the back of the one side, presumably for the tiled art wall.

Many concrete cylinders for the wetworks (Sanitary? Storm? I've never actually been sure what these were for. The manhole ones.) were delivered to the portion of Charles in front of the parking garage today. This section of road will probably be next.

Benton / Charles had most of the concrete embedding finished as of today. The intersection is scheduled to reopen next Monday.

The grade of Charles form Benton - Cedar has been significantly lowered. It's definitely permanent. There's gonna be a sharp incline to get into some of those driveways!

The retaining wall at Stirling is about 50% done. It looks like they're holding off on the rest of the work in the area due to it being fairly flooded at the moment.

Charles between Stirling / Borden was still being worked on as of 730pm. Seems like they were rushing to get it done by tomorrow. Stakes were in the ground marking the placement of inner/outer curbs.

So that's how that works
