ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Walked a very long distance today. I kept setting a short goal, then when I got there, I saw more construction goodies up ahead, had to keep going further!

A very large hole at Victoria / King. Seems water works have started here now! The scale isn't really captured in this photo - that concrete piping laying along the bottom of the pit is at least 6 feet tall!

Communications ducts for Ion are being laid along in front of the Kaufman lofts. They really are speeding along on this section. I'm wondering if they might even finish the Northbound track from Water to Victoria ahead of schedule - sure looks like it so far!

Not pictured - all traffic poles (and almost all trafiic signals) are in at all intersections along Charles, between Victoria and Benton now. My bet is that as soon as the track is laid near the Benton station, Charles will reopen. Only 2 weeks to go, if that's the case!
