The construction updates claim they are installing "ductwork" starting today. I would imagine that if they were simply moving the poles, it would have been done at the beginning of all the utility work, like it was on Charles and most other sections.
Somewhere around there, closer to Union, if you look closely to a telephone pole on Park, you'll see a sign that says "Circuit Limit" which I believe means that that may be the boundary between Waterloo North Hydro and Kitchener Wilmot Hydro.

The gravel parking lot at Seagram plus the KW Granite club are part of Waterloo Park. The 2009 Master Plan has a few concepts in mind for that area. The existing (soon to be smaller) parking lot is envisioned to be an ecological/educational area. The gravel lot (currently leased to UW I believe) will be formal gardens. The Rink in the Park parking will be retained. As it was published in 2009, The Waterloo Park Master Plan acknowledged the coming LRT, but could not factor in a final LRT station location and associated pedestrian traffic flow.
