ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Those new shoulders remind of the faux-bike lanes on Queen St S. I was glad that they had finally faded enough not to be noticed and then they repainted them in the last week or so!

Hopefully they can remove the lines or at least "hatch" out the space so it is clear no vehicle, motorized or otherwise should be in the space. It seems like poor planning. With that space and the buffer space between the curb and sidewalk and actual segregated path could have been built with room to spare.



Does anyone know why the hydro lines on Caroline were not buried as was planned (page 38) and approved? Not only did the lines not get buried, but the poles are in the middle of the sidewalk when there was space in the "buffer" between the curb and sidewalk or on the outside of the sidewalk.

"the City will enter an agreement with Waterloo North Hydro to install the electrical works to energize the buried system and remove the existing overhead system and poles. The City also intends to issue an RFP to retain a consultant to design the decorative street lighting system on Caroline from Allen to Erb Street."

"this report the work must be carried out in conjunction with the LRT construction."
