Just thinking over all the level crossings we now have on LRT track. I hope this is a full list:
Spur @ Bearinger
Spur @ Columbia
Spur @ University
Spur @ Seagram
Caroline and Father David Bauer
Caroline and Alexandria
Caroline and William
Caroline and Fullerton
Caroline and Norman
Caroline and Freemont
Charles and Water
Charles and Benton
Borden and Courtland
Anything missing? (Perhaps Borden and Bedford, or Dundas?)
Charles and Gaukel, and Charles and Ontario. Speaking of the latter, here is my contribution to the progress photography ...

Ah, but those are not yet level crossings (concrete is not poured). They're next on the list, though, obviously.
Noticed today that Caroline / Alexandria also has traffic light poles in place, though there are no actual lights on them yet.
Really appreciate the photo updates everyone!!

Sorry, it seems that I misunderstood your question!
Eerie! Especially because of the mars-like tint from the sun.
On the Spur Line, they've been pouring the upper layer of ballast on the second track. This upper ballast is about as far south as University Ave now. They still need to level and tamp the ties, and smooth out the ballast. No sign of any of that south of R&T Park station yet.

Anyone know why the station area looks so far below the road level? Â I thought the tracks were level w/ Courtland....

It's likely that they're filling in soil at the same pace as the retaining wall is being built. We'll see the ground up at the same level as the road when all's said and done.
