Remember those little L-shaped temporary railings they had put up at a number of stations earlier this summer? Some of them are now replaced with the final product. They look good! Northfield, R+T Park, and Willis Way have them. Others may too; those are the ones I remember noticing in the last little while.
Final bits of track at Conestoga are now embedded, ready for buffer installation:
I'm guessing this will happen soon, with testing beginning all the way up here in the next couple of weeks.
No sign of art installation at any of the stations yet, either. The project team had alluded that all 7 were going to be installed by this fall. I'm now quite doubtful of that, as Ken Hall's Network, for example, is this massive structure... and the birds at Fairway also are going to require a lot of work, I would think!
Scaffolding is back up at Weber - looks like they pull it down Monday-Thursday, and then it goes back up over the weekend, when the freight train isn't running.

Scaffolding is now back up again at the Weber St. Bridge. It looks like they are putting it up and down as train traffic requires. #wrLRT pic.twitter.com/jndNcbQk64
