ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I've made some additions to the map to increase clarity.

Record article today about lots of impending work:

Tracks starting to arrive for LRT in Kitchener

The Record Wrote:...
Work continues along Charles, between Victoria and Borden, with local-only traffic access.

• Charles-Cedar intersection is expected to reopen by the end of the week, as are the Charles-Gaukel and Charles-Ontario intersections.

• Charles-Water will close for a month, as soon as Charles-Ontario reopens.

• Charles-Eby is expected to shut this week. It's not expected to reopen until mid-September.

Other work continues along the on-street sections of the light rail system:

• Northfield Drive, at the Conestoga Parkway, Waterloo — upgrading bridge to carry LRT tracks; lanes closed on Northfield and ramps to parkway shut through 2016.

• University Avenue at the CN track crossing is scheduled to reopen this week.

• Seagram Drive (at CN railway crossing) — closed three weeks as LRT tracks installed.

• Caroline Street, between Willis Way and William Street, Waterloo — closed through the summer, and William to Allen also shut.

• King Street, between Allen and Union streets, Waterloo — closed; Allen-King intersection shut through Sept 21.

• King at Mount Hope Street in Kitchener — closes for two days this week.

• King at Green Street — closed Tuesday through Friday.

• King, between Moore Avenue and Victoria Street, Kitchener — closed until end of 2016, to build an LRT and road underpass at railway tracks.

•Park Street, between Agnes and Cherry streets, Kitchener — closed until mid-September, for track work at the adjacent GO train yard to give space for trains as King underpass work starts immediately to the east.
