A few extra tidbits from the ION stop anchor wall consultations:
  • The heated-shelter stops will be Conestoga Mall, Northfield Drive, Block Line Road, Grand River Hospital and Fairview Park mall (this was actually reported in the Record.) The remaining stops will have utilities roughed in for future heating.
  • The heated shelters will not be completely enclosed. (They'll have an open doorway.) The heating will be radiant, and on-demand. A button will be present to activate it for 5 minutes or so.
  • The full length (2 LRV length) stops will basically mirror/repeat the existing infrastructure, including a second "book-end" anchor wall. The renders of a fully laid out stop look pretty nice because of that book-end effect of the anchor walls on either end.
  • Stop names will be announced tomorrow! (probably as part of the council agenda for next week).
Unrelated: I also spotted the Laurel Creek culvert, exposed by ION construction on Caroline Street:
