ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I was there on my way home.

Not even close, to my admittedly non-expert view. The idea that the volume of water surging across the temporary road could be forced through the few little pipes they were using seems absurd.

However, this may not be a problem — as far as I can see, the culvert segments that have been installed are fine, so presumably they’ll just repeat the drying-out process again.

I’d be interested to know if this is deliberate — provide pumping capacity up to a certain amount, which is known to be less than what will occur after heavy rain, and take a calculated chance of having to repeat the draining process — or is it more of an amateur-style “keep working on the problem until it’s done” type of thing.
