ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Was surprised to see today that almost all the sidewalks are completely in on Charles from Water to Ontario! They're really in quite the rush to get these businesses back up to speed, considering spots like King St that have been paved for months don't have sidewalks yet.

There were a heap of dates pushed back today. The crossings on Caroline were pushed back, as were all the intersection closures downtown. Bit of a shame. Surprising that Charles / Francis keeps getting pushed back. More than 3 weeks overdue now.

All curbs are officially in for the Southbound lanes on Charles from Benton to Borden! Woo! Curbs are still missing on the Northbound lanes from Pandora to Cameron, but those should be done this week. Glad to see this major stretch almost done.

Charles is also paved in both directions from Benton to Cedar. Completely driveable now. Crossing Eby has been closed — the plans show this as no longer being a through street, but the shape of the curbs say it is? Eby being closed may just be to install tracks soonish — the Ion ROW has been completely leveled and tampered to Benton.

The remainder of Borden was mostly paved today, and should be finished tomorrow. I would assume that as soon as the Borden / Charles intersection reopens, Ottawa / Charles will close.
