ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Noticed they had covered all the embedded track at Benton with tarp again. Wonder what that's about. Some sort of finishing coat?

The Willis Way station had been uncovered and recovered with a new tarp today. Not sure why the switch.

The Victoria Park station has had some sidewalk grading done. They've been working on building up the hill behind the station, probably in preparation for the final curbs to come within the next week.

The retaining wall at Stirling is 90% done. Road has been re-leveled out here. Probably adding the final touches this week.

There are now NB curbs (inner and outer) on Charles between Borden and Stirling. Should be paved by the end of the week. I'm still curious as to the property boundaries at the Crossfit building. There's  still that last bit of rusty fence / grass at the corner, but I'd swear it needs to come down to make way for the road and sidewalk. Not sure why it still stands.

Also, this is peculiar: A lane closure on Charles between Water and Gaukel was just posted, despite it already being closed to traffic completely. The lane closure is supposed to last from tomorrow until next Friday, but is overnight from 7pm til 7am every day. What could this be for? Why at night? All I can think is maybe to accommodate installation of track, without compromising access to the parking garages?
