Did anybody notice the minor construction activity in the Waterloo Town Square parking lot?
I had noticed that the pavement in the crossing near the parcel pickup was wrong — there was a flangeway on the inside of the LRT track on the side with the check rail. So in effect there were two flangeways, one between the running rail and the check rail and another just inside the check rail. I wondered if it would always be like that but in the last couple of days they removed all the pavement between the rails and as of yesterday afternoon the correct boots have been installed. I think it’s just waiting for new pavement now.
Still, we’re at a point where a mall crossing being closed is news, so overall I think we should be happy with the state of the construction (vehicles excluded).
