One potential upshot of this for us:  This means it'll be a heck of a lot easier to figure out where the test LRV is at - because it certainly won't be South of here!

Still - ridiculous we're going into like Month 2 of this now.  Amazing how the local media love to slag on Bombardier every chance they get, but are completely ignorant toward the massive jackhammers bashing away at every curve on the line and raising some questions...

(not that I want them to - it's amazing this is so under the radar)

Couldn’t they use the other track? Or are both tracks being fixed?

It’s weird what the media pick up on. I remember one time I was at the Dairy Queen in Westmount Place and happened to notice a pane of glass was broken. Then later it was on the CTV local news. Slow news day, I assume. Although the owner must have been caught off guard because he said something like “nothing to see here” rather than just “yeah, the glass got broken by …, no problem. Glass guy will be coming tomorrow”. But I don’t blame him. One doesn’t expect to have to put on the PR face after something as trivial as that.

Let’s hope the next big LRT news is “opening day will be X”.
