It was clear to me when I walked the route at the start of construction that there should be a crossing or 2 in the area, otherwise would piss off the residents and force them to do long walks or getting into a car to drive to X. Lets see how long it takes to get a crossing in, but will be in 2019.
It will still be interesting to see who has their line open first for KW or Ottawa. By rights, KW should be open first based on what I saw in Ottawa a few weeks ago.
As far as I know, only one station in Ottawa is completed and never saw it. What I saw from the downtown to the last station in the west, maybe ready early 2019. Was told by family and others, the contractor is working 7/24 and supposed to turn the system over to the city in early Nov and the city opening the line by the end of Nov.
Caught a few videos of testing the new cars that were using both tracks at the same time in the same direction. If it wasn't for the rain, would have got more at a better location.

The need for a crossing came up during the EA stage but no formal need arose because the area was a hydro corridor and all the crossings through that area were informal and no residents from the area expressed the need for one during the EA stage.
