I think it's just people who don't understand railways or haven't ridden Light Rail systems before in other cities. It might look a little "wrong" to them or something, I dunno.
Here's a Sunny Sunday winter update!

Ballast sweeper and Tamper at the Hydro Corridor/Wilson Ave.
Always a pleasure to see a Mk. VI Tamper out and about! One of several in the area, now.
Hopefully, in not too long, we'll see a crossing here for the folks in Traynor.
The Fairway terminal crossover.
Crossover detail.
Here's a Sunny Sunday winter update!
- A crew was busy along Hayward today, tamping the track and installing the road deck plates to give access to Graybar. I assume this was one of these urgent "weekend pushes" that they do to try and minimize the disruption to local businesses. They had a great day today for it.
- Fairway is coming along great, with a very stylish Driver's Lounge being built! It'd make a great LEGO set.
- Platform lighting is in at many of the stops, even Block Line, which doesn't have the station canopy or anchor wall, yet. A few of the downtown Kitchener stops have lighting installed in the canopy weldment arms themselves, and at least one (Willis Way) has a digital destination signboard installed now, too (spoiler: it's one of those ghastly low-resolution Red-LED affairs, from like 1987).
- I noticed there's still a "30 Minute Loading Zone" sign up in front of Allen Square (https://goo.gl/maps/MG6BWzo2cT72), On King between Allen and William. That should probably come down.
- On a positive note, no one was parked in UpTown Waterloo on the Rapidway this afternoon, so maybe the message is getting through.
