General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[Pheidippides]

I wonder if they are temporary for the upcoming lumen festival as I don't see anything in the bid/tender documents.

Once the contractor has finished the work, the City of Waterloo will install programmable light standards that fit around trees along the sidewalks.

Once complete, there will be 17,000 individual programmable lights that can change colours to create different effects on the street. The underground infrastructure has been installed already, but the light standards will be custom-built for the project. Installation is scheduled for later this summer.

Cool! Thanks for finding that link.

Funny that on May 16 they said the uptown streetscape would be done in 8 weeks and here we are 19 weeks later and they still aren't done.
