Track still hasn't advanced onto Allen, and the curve hasn't been embedded yet, but the curbs and sidewalk sure do look nice!

Back downtown, the "black" cement we saw being poured has cured in front of the bus terminal, and looks spiffy! Construction almost done here!

It may be hard to tell from this photo, but marks for curbs (both road and rapidway) are in at Queen / Charles, and the ground has been completely filled in and tamped! There is also a new type of manhole cover in the sidewalk with access to the Ion communication ducts. This might even be complete within a week, minus tracks!

It seems the black concrete finishing is being used all along the rapidway. Here it is down at Charles / Pandora. Really helps clean some of these places up a bit.

I'm wondering what they'll do with the sidewalk here at Charles / Benton. Hoping this tree doesn't need to come down, but it looks like it might.
