ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
1/2 - Sunday, October 29, 2017

A couple of notes from today;
  • Chain link fence has gone up on Hayward, between the sidewalk and the tracks.  I think this is a requirement here because Transport Canada says its a "railway" and not Light Rail, because of the ballasted tracks and so on (and ATC, I suppose).  Very unfortunate, as it's hideous and makes me want to die.
  • Fences are coming to Block Line, too - the posts are all up at the North side of the station.
  • The little orange light was blinking at Borden station today, on the OCS pole!  Does that mean the power is on?  It was blinking on for about 0.1 second, off for about 0.6-0.7 seconds (ie, a littel faster than 1 Hz, maybe 1.4 Hz or so).

   
Driver's Facilities deficiency work seems to be complete at Fairway.

   
Love that logo!

   
I hadn't expected to see the landscaping completed, here - isn't this where the two giant birds are going?  Or is this a case of "we have to let GrandLinq finish off their thing as per the Project Agreement, before we come in and change stuff"?
