ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(05-27-2016, 11:41 PM)GtwoK Wrote: I don't have any good photos (it's 11:30pm, and the flash on my phone isn't helping), but Water has been completely repaved and painted. Sidewalks are also in on the south side of Duke between Water and Francis, and are in the middle of being built on the North side. Also: LRT curbs are going in on this same stretch! The track crossing at Water may not be going in during this closure, but it seems track might be laid along Duke and then down Francis first. I'm thinking, considering the Francis closure only took maybe 3 weeks with catpole foundations going in almost immediately, there must not have been any utilities running along Francis. Would've sped things up quite a bit! Looking forward to seeing these done, maybe even withing the next few weeks.

Could it be that the utilities are right down the centre? So, since the track is off to the side here, perhaps they didn't need to be relocated.

Here are some photos from this past week, looking down King from between Kitchener and Waterloo:
