Were these areas not just rehabilitated?

The contract is fairly cheap, just $420k. I suspect these are just some minor improvements that should be wrapped up soon.

The region has indicated that the project could be completed as late at 2025.

"The Region of Waterloo has recently indicated that their schedule for constructing the River Road Extension could be delayed to as late as 2025 completion."
I'm not sure of the reason, perhaps because the one of the options for Ion uses that crossing? The $72 million price tag will likely be significantly higher by then.
I've always questioned the utility of this plan.

Oh, jeez. 8. Not 7/85. Or whatever it's called up North. Gah. Thanks...

University Ave and Woolwich St has some new portable traffic lights up. This was not a controlled intersection before. I guess they're determining if they should add lights permanently.

I think the other end of Woolwich St is now closed for construction so everyone that lives back there by Kiwanis Park has to come out at the intersection with University. The lights are probably just temporary until that construction is complete.
