Heard the chainsaws earlier! They're coming down like timber.

Not sure, haven't seen a full removal up close yet. At least it would be easier to dig up than a tree stump, I presume.

Progress on Duke. Victoria Park platform edge rework. Embedded track curve from Ottawa onto Charles. Ottawa.

Ottawa. Ottawa/Mill, almost ready to re-open. Embedded track curve from Borden onto the Huron Spur: Now complete!

3/3 - Wednesday, October 19, 2016
Embedded track curve from Borden onto the Huron Spur, continued. Uptown Waterloo. Waterloo Town Square's station foundation is, so far, the most involved on the line.

My goodness is that ever a lot of space between the rails and the east side buildings in UpTown!

They must have heard all the pre-construction concerns about the sidewalks at the Kaufman Lofts (which, by the way, turned out to be miles wider than what was there before) and over-compensated. Should be great for pedestrians - no complaints allowed, here!

It's a shame they went with stamped concrete instead of grass between the sidewalk and the road here.

That retaining wall and industrial railing in front of the Mutual is a "miss".

My guess is grass on such a slope does poorly.

Could they have had less space and then room for bike lanes? Or is there just not enough space for that?
