These are from Saturday morning, but had some system issues so I'm posting them now. Forms are up at Kitchener Market station!



EDIT: They're still not working, I'll try another upload tonight.

Your photos don't show up for me, KevinL - are they hosted externally?

[GtwoK]

They showed up earlier. The links may have expired?

[Canard]

KevinL, your photos still don't show up. How are you uploading them? Just do them as attachments and say "Insert into Post."

[KevinL]

Google Photos (which manages my phone's automatic backups) seems to have changed their formats so I'll have to try a different method than I have in the past.

[GtwoK]

Google Photos' share links expire after a few hours, I've had the same problem. I just copy them form Google Photos and rehost them on Imgur

Back to more current events, Queen and charles is now closed. Access to the parking garage is now from Benton.

Just use the forum's built in uploader. Way easier!

Didn't notice much happening today on my nightly drive around. There were a bunch of orange tarps lining portions of King St (NB) lanes, that I WANT to say were covering curbs — they went around corners and met up with existing curbs and everything. But they were also pretty flat to the ground. No idea what these would have been for.

Did Alexandra / Caroline or FDB / Caroline open today, as they were supposed to?

[KevinL]

The tarps may have been covering curb alignment work - wires strung from small rebar posts are often placed to help guide the curb form as it is poured.

The Laurel Trail between Columbia and University is now paved and people are using it again.

Thanks!

I posted that a while back, but after talking with someone with the city and the school I was informed that is an old idea and not the one that will be implemented.

As I noted a few days ago, this plan would have preserved the upper steps. As they have since been demolished, another design is clearly going forward.

I was wondering about that yesterday - I went up to the Central and noticed that they have excavated right back to the school's foundation.

It seems that all the drawings are from 2013. When I ask ION for updated renders all I get is "Coming Soon".
