ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Almost certainly they do have problems, but not as often as all that. According to my coworker who once worked for the City of St Thomas road works, putting in a long segment of curb is _really_ precise. They use a curb-laying machine that uses a stringline and drops the curb some exact measurement below it, accurate to however accurate the stringline is (which can be accurate to millimetres using standard survey equipment)
