ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I took a ride down Charles from Stirling today, it's paved close to the intersection with Borden.

They had tarps covering most of the newly poured concrete and some heaters pumping hot air under the tarps, gotta keep it warm.

   
   

It's looks like ~500 metres of completed track once this pavement is cured, I think. It's a pretty nice speedbump on courtland with the asphalt right now.  Seems the bridge over the creek is covered with dirt again so it's passable.

   

I also took a picture of the right-of-way looking toward the expressway from Ottawa St. it's quite the big strip of land. The old commercial/light industrial building that faces the tracks is empty and would be a nice plot of land to redevelop, hopefully something nice gets done with... it's covered in crappy graffiti right now.
