ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I expect it's final. Where the near right side of the path gets to the tracks, the Asphalt extends right to the "corner" hole between the edge of the rail-flattening grey block, and the edge of path-height dirt/gravel parallel to the tracks. If you bring the path to those corners at maximum width, there's not much room to grow. And if you do that, and people use the full asphalt width, one slight move to the outside of the path at one of those "corner" holes (two on the right side, one on the left side) and you'll have a foot/stroller/wheelchair/bicycle fall in and send someone on quite a dangerous trip. So there probably should be an asphalt-to-corner-hole gap closer to what you see on the left side, but that would either need an S-like path to dodge away from the three staggered corner holes, or would need longer rail-flattening grey blocks, neither of which I expect to see. P3 at work.
