ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
You can see the grade beginning to incline here at Waterloo / the rail tracks. I'm trying to figure out what they're doing here - closer to Duke, the 2 existing rail track split off into a third, which is heading up this new incline. The incline is also being laid in dirt, and on top of the pavement parking lot there, without having dug the pavement up first. I'm not sure why they wouldn't have demolished the parking lot first and foremost. 2nd, I'm not sure how the tracks will be arranged coming from Weber now. Seems like they'll take an S-Bend away from the Boehmer building and head up the new incline? It's all quite confusing.

Did a quick run out to the new bridge. Seems a retaining wall has gone up along side the School of Pharmacy. I wonder if that concrete one will come down - seems a little unnecessary now!

Curbs are now in at Louisa / King, extending almost down to (but stopping short of) Wellington. I'm not sure if they'll finish the curbs before repaving and opening King.

And as the final surprise of the day... CURBS have finally gone it in front of KCI! It's about time! We can look forward to King being open two-way sometime next week, I'd wager!
