ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I'm not that OCD, but it always makes me frustrated when freshly paved road gets cut up and end up looking all patched up.

As long as they do it before the second coat, the end result will still end up looking fine.

According to a post on the Facebook group, forms are starting to go up for the platform at Mill station.

Hmmm, will try to check that out tomorrow morning!

Definitely not a small oops @ gaukel...

Victoria (including King/Victoria and Charles/Victoria) opening tonight. About 30 minutes ago they were just working on the final lane markings.

I'm hearing it's expected to open closer to midnight.

[tomh009]

They didn't say what time, but they did say they would finish and get it open tonight.    And it's the lane markings on Victoria (N side of King) that were missing.  According to the crew, that was the last thing on the list.

The intersection looks great with the new islands, pavement and embedded track already.  Will be better yet once I see a train on it!

I'd been standing there for 3 hours watching them. It was mezmerizing . I must've seen you pass by, Tom!

Anyway, I left after they finished the lines, thankfully JUST before it started to rain. They stood around talking for a while, looked like they just needed to move the pylons out of the way. Must've been something else going on too though, because they kept turning people away that were trying to drive through. I left when I couldn't feel my fingers anymore, about a half hour ago. I'd assume it's open by now!

You must have been there, yes! They hadn't started actually painting yet when we walked by. I just chatted briefly with the workers and then we continued our walk back down King St.

Sure, he just coasts in and takes the glory after we do all the hard work of watching the paint dry!

This reminds me of when Phillip in Waterloo had all the sewers redone to accommodate the new buildings and also had to go back and to add manholes. I wonder if there's a reason for not doing it the first time, or if it's just a D'oh moment.

He's been there since 5pm!
