ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(06-16-2015, 03:34 PM)Canard Wrote: Without seeing any official dates, I have to think that all of us thinking they're behind is just speculation.  No one's raising any red flags just yet.  The only thing I've seen GrandLinq openly come out and say is that they ran into some trouble at Gaukel, because they discovered a whole bunch of crap that wasn't in their drawings.  Same thing happened in Cambridge at one of the aBRT stops.

I used to live near the stretch of Caroline I mentioned and was presented with the original timeline. The work there was supposed to be complete by end of November 2014 (utility relocation) and then fire up again late in 2015 or early 2016 to construct the actual track and station. **

Here we are in June 2016 and the utility relocation is still not finished. It is way behind and presumably way over budget.

** Note this is all coming from memory so the dates may not be exact. What I can tell you is that the utility relocation should have long been completed and the work was not originally slated to continue through the winter. Which it did.
