At first I thought it was April Fools listening to him talk about how much work has to be done yet. Then I realized, he is subtly telling us the system is no where near ready. I have been always been optimistic on LRT but I have a feeling we won't see it till at least the fall. They might announce a start date by end of spring.
I just wish they had the fortitude to be honest and deliver the news.
While there is a lot of issues and work to be done with the system, some of the work will likely be completed after the system launches (there are some new crossings that need to be added south of Mill Station, for example). Those issues are non-critical and may have more complicated fixes and are having detailed plans signed-off by the Region for completion later. Right now they are working on critical issues and simulated burn-in testing to identify any more faults with the vehicles and promptly fix them.
