Yes, to Francis/Beer Store, that is what I meant. The curve that goes through Francis/King is not complete.

Construction update is out. I see the intersection of Duke and King is closing next week... again. I'd like to visit this mythical intersection and see what's being done.

Clearly that should say King/Frederick.

Couldn't see Ottawa/Charles but I doubt it's open.
Just drove down Courtland; 2-way now between Block Line and Manitou! Charles is now open 2-way between Borden and Stirling! Bit by bit, more things are opening than are closing. Home stretch! Quote:Just drove down Courtland; 2-way now between Block Line and Manitou! I'm very happy to read this!

The update suggests it will be granular when it opens.

Seems that it will reopen, but not be complete (much like Duke / College and Duke / Young at the moment). Night work is being preformed next week on the CN track near Borden. They'll be shifting those over to build the incline for the Ion tracks, I'll bet. Also: Quote: Why's that? What around-the-clock working is necessary for that stretch, being that it's basically complete apart from signals being reactivated? I don't suppose it's for taking dow the hydro poles, is it?

Some new discoveries this morning;
On to the photos... 1/4 - Saturday, July 23, 2016 Duke/Queen is still having some earth work done - a truck was just arriving with cat poles. I imagine they'll be paving later this weekend or on Monday. Grinding crews were getting ready this morning to work on the newly-welded rails in front of the Kaufman Lofts. Another team just to the right here was getting ready to knock apart all the metal forms used for the embedded track between King and Duke, on Francis. Status of the future "Queen" station. Haven't been up to the top of the parking garage in a bit. It's really fun to bike up (and down!) the ramps. There are a few spots here and there on Charles where the embedding of the track hasn't been completed (and still that one big gap in front of Cameron Heights); but for the most part, Charles is just about complete.

Turn right in front of trains? Canard, they will turn right AND left in front of trains. They will drive straight at trains, rear-end trains, and sideswipe trains. They will stop in the trains' right of way. !!!

Another view of some of those gaps yet to be poured. Someone had asked yesterday, I believe, about the status of Charles/Ottawa. Well, here you go. Something's... new... here... Oh, my god. Please tell me the reason why someone felt the need to invent their own version of a Tram/LRV icon. A Google Image Search for "Tram Icon" produces hundreds of icons, all of which are infinitely better than this garbage (well, maybe not these). This... this is just hideous. Every other city I've ridden LRT or Trams in essentially uses the same symbol: Why? Why did this happen???????

Calm down... pretty cables... So... about Freemont being closed... There ya go Gotta put 'em somewhere. Here's the first of the safety areas I think will need to be addressed. Heading South on the Iron Horse Trail where it meets Borden, what extra signage will be put in place to notify cyclists that they should look to their left, and use extra caution, as they'll be crossing track with near-silent LRV's approaching? |
