Markster's update made me want to go out and take a few photos tonight, so I did!
As I mentioned a few days ago, Duke is now paved between Water and Victoria, and Francis between Duke and the Kaufman Lofts entrance.

The day before the above was paved, I saw them steam rolling and temping the roadway down; now I see the same happening on Charles, from Victoria to Water! This should be paved this week as well ,especially considering Franci reopened last week.

As Markster mentioned, curbs are now in on Charles between Ontario and Benton, with the exception of the middle rapidway curb. I noticed this metal pole opposite the Sports Link parking lot. Anyone have any idea what it might be for? My only thought is maybe a signal to warn those exiting the parking lot of an oncoming train, but if so, why wouldn't they be at other parking lot exits as well?

Another thing I noticed: the curbs end at an area marked out for the Queen St station. You can see here that the station is in front of one of the old entrances to the strip mall parking lot. The other entrance, however, does not have "driveable" curbs in front of it - they're far too tall for any vehicle to cross. Was the parking lot closed permanently? Is redevelopment of this lot coming sooner than we think?
