I imagine as we roll through 2017 and we start seeing interactions with test vehicles, solutions like that will be implemented where needed.

I suppose, but why wait? G:Link had it from day 1.

It appears G:Link also has banner ads

They should paint the intersections but they also need to enforce it and I don't think there's anything in the HTA about it. In Toronto it's only a 40$ fine from what I can tell.

The curb certainly looks permanent even if the sidewalk isn't in, but if they're going to fix it still then I look forward to seeing how it gets corrected.

Glad this issue is being taken seriously however I don't for one second buy that this curb isn't permanent.... If if was a screw up and being re-done for whatever reason that's fine, but don't pretend it's "temporary".

@clasher I believe this was already added to region bylaws that blocking the LRT will be a fineable offence under the bylaw.
@jCnb You're right the curb is permanent, and will have to be jackhammered to remove it. I can only imagine they were talking about the sidewalk itself. The functional plans show the curb as it is placed now, so it isn't a screwup on Grandlinq. We will see what they do, or if the city/region will have to correct it after.

Rode Edinburgh's tram tonight. It picks up a decent speed on the segregated tracks heading west from downtown (between Murrayfield station and Balgreen was the section I rode - might be faster further west towards the airport. Look forward to the same feeling of "whee!" on the 70kph sections in KW.

Look forward to the same feeling of "whee!" on the 70kph sections in KW. I was in Edinburgh two weeks ago and saw the tram, but didn't get a chance to use it. I was surprised at how quiet the trains were as they passed by. Also surprised to see nada in the Leith Road when it was all torn up for tram construction when I was there a number of years ago. I gather Edinburgh is a good example of how NOT to build an LRT.

The Record is reporting that University Avenue will be closed for "corrosion protection work". First of all, is this the reason why both Seagram and Bearinger had to be closed? Second, what is "corrosion protection work"?
