Not sure if it was reported but 505 has full decals now

Having a nice discussion with someone on Reddit who's spent years bitterly complaining about LRT spending and now says $1500 in prizes is "lame or underwhelming" and the region should be handing out $100,000. You can't win with these people, can you?

Some people are more interested in being negative and complaining than making a point.

These people are not pleasant to talk too.

And as always, these people may be different people in different contexts.

hi 

So that leaves 501, 503, 504, and 507 if I'm not mistaken then.

501 is still very much naked!

[jason897]

Yep, as of today 501 is definitely still naked. 503, 504, 507 could possibly have them but haven't been spotted out yet.

I’ve got a better idea. The Region should compensate everybody $10000 now and $1000/year forever for the traffic inconvenience during and after construction.

… later …

What? Taxes are up again? What are those fools spending all that money on?

[ijmorlan]

Just had another thought.

It would make more sense to say “no right turn on green” than “no right turn on red” in this location.

And going by today, the no-right-on-red sign is gone. At least that’s what I think I saw. Is it possible to have a reverse hallucination in which one does not see something that is there?

An installation mistake corrected? Vigilante sign removal? Something else?

Oh no!

Is this the first time there has been an accident?

[tomh009]

Ah, so that's why the train is stuck at City Hall!

[trainspotter139]

Oh no!

First time there has been a real collision.

[robdrimmie]

Apparently, yes. The article now includes "It's the first time that a vehicle has crashed into an LRT vehicle, which are still in testing."

Based on the picture, that looks like Duke and Water (article says Duke and Young). I went through that intersection around 12:20 so it must have happened after that. Hope everyone is alright.
