(Closing both Cedar and Eby would push the nearest intersections to Benton and Cameron, a bit too far in either direction.) Once Cedar re-opens, Eby would be closed and made right-in, right-out.
As for those overhead wires, I imagine they will be replaced or relocated in some way before the catenary gets hung.
I bet it's the Region's take on PRIMOVE. Catenary stops just short of the intersection, pantographs drop, and the LRT coasts through the intersection before raising the pans to connect with the continued catenary on the other side. [stare]
Or hydro will move the cables as they've been doing in other locations along the route.
