Lots of rework to the concrete between Kitchener Market and Cameron.
The entire section has been dug up between the rapidway. Gotta love that sign. I wonder if they got the kids at the school to make it for them?
Little reported, a giant mural is going to adorn this entire wall on Charles! It's part of the Canada 150 celebrations.
Another shot of all that concrete work.
At Courtland/Shelly, there's a curious placement of a railway crossing arm.
I guess it's not so curious when you zoom out and look at the whole situation, but it's certainly a headscratcher. There's a pedestrian crossing here, and that's all the arms are for. The rapidway has both tracks on the far side, parallel to Courtland. So, traffic is completely unimpeded here by the LRT.
However, there's a new pedestrian crossing to a trail/sidwalk on the far side. There is no refuge between the rapidway and Courtland. So... I guess railway rules said they have to have a crossing arm on the near side, to prevent anyone from attempting to cross, and then get stuck between traffic and the train.
