But really, all bets are off. Maybe they'll lay the concrete foundation of the ION stop? I have difficulty thinking that they'll actually be laying tracks this year.
I asked Grandlinq about this, and was told that the first tracks to touch soil will be next to the OSMF from Northfield, heading South, starting in early 2015. I believe the RideION website confirms that the closure is temporary of the streets currently seeing utility relocation, and they will re-open, then close again for the concrete/track work starting next year.
