ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Some pictures! Drove to a few sites today to see what was what. Phone died, so no pics for some.

Ontario / Duke - Wetworks done, communication banks ongoing

Young / Duke - This intersection was supposed to reopen today, but it hadn't and looked the exact same as it had 3 weeks ago - still no tracks crossing it, which is the last thing to be done here. Not sure what's up.

Water / Duke - All that's been done here is fencing's been put up, not even a trench for tracks yet, despite being closed a week.

Moore / King - A retaining wall on the McDonald's property is half built, looks great! It's 3 blocks thick. Super holding power. Rough-ins are in for where the rest of the retaining wall will go around the McDonald's / Google property. I believe underground work is done here, but they were in the middle of doing some underground utilities under the new bridge, so it's almost in the rebuilding stage, I'd say.

BONUS - you may have seen my post over on the Facebook group, but here's a photosphere, if you want to feel like you're REALLY THERE, plus, this is much better quality than what facebook compresses to anyway.

Interesting indents in the Google foundation... wonder what they'll do with these.
