Awesome photos, Iain. Too busy the last few days to post mine, but I think you covered those areas better than I would have, anyway!
08-20-2016, 10:24 PM
Duke / Francis is open! Well... sort of. The "Road Closed" sign is pushed to the side now, and the lights are on, so if you wanted to drive it, you totally could. Lights have been activated at King / Francis too, but the road is still blocked.
Edit: I lied. They literally opened it as I drive past right now. Another intersection down for the grandlinq team!

Hopefully that will ease some of the traffic on Water during rush hour.
...and hopefully you didn't actually post that while driving!
 Which roads exactly are now open? Is Duke now open between Victoria and Water, and Francis between Duke and Joseph?
Spotted this dangling light today, literally hanging by a wire. Is this something I should report?

Yes; you can report it to:
Email: connect@rideion.ca Twitter: @rideIONrt, @GrandLinq (I'd be happy to email if you'd rather; just let me know.)

Yeah, I'll leave it to you if you don't mind. It was a few hours ago, the photos were taken at 3:13PM. Thanks

Since Iain covered the last few days' progress on Charles and Ottawa, I'll just post the ones from this morning.
Future crossover on Charles, in front of Cameron Heights: A view of Ottawa, from near Charles. Pavement first, but the Schneider Creek bridge and beyond have no pavement. Ottawa Creek? It seems that there are a lot of new rivers in Kitchener ...

Was along the line in Midtown today and had thoughts on a couple stations. The 'official' access points to the platform at Allen is from, well, Allen; and to GRH is from Pine. But both platforms are long enough that I hope they allow access from the adjacent streets:

People will access them from both sides, safely or not. They'd be amiss to not provide a safe option.

Not necessarily. As I've mentioned, just like in Toronto they may put a railing at the far end to discourage people crossing at unsafe locations.

@canard. No fence is going to stop someone running up the track to catch their train. I saw someone hop the fence in a commuter rail station to catch a Caltrain.
Of course it being the smart and safe thing to do (provide safe access) in no way guarantees that it will be the thing done. @notmyfriends |
