ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Probably my favourite part of this thread is Canards undying love of all things railway!

(07-04-2015, 05:40 PM)schooner77 Wrote: As I look from my balcony, sipping a good beer, I'm watching the construction at the intersection for William and Caroline.  It's 5:30pm on a Saturday, and they're still digging.  Last night I went for a walk and they were working away at 10:30pm.  I'm not overly knowledgable with regards to construction, or what is involved in this process.  The back hoe is till in the centre of the street and there is still a big hole there, so it's hard to tell whether they're making progress or not, but they are working steadily.

I am frustrated by the lack of progress on Caroline.  We're going on almost eleven months, in which it has been fully or partially closed, and really is hard to see whatever progress they've made.  There have been weeks pass by, in which there wasn't a soul on the premises.  I do realize that it isn't nearly as important an artery as King, but that smacks me as being excessive.

Not sure about Caroline and William, but I think that whole stretch may have been deterred by high groundwater and/or the Laurel Creek crossing which cannot have been a simple task.  For high water, Granlinq applied for a Permit to Take Water:


This proposal is for a new category 3 permit to take water servicing Grandlinq Contractors, as follows:
