Does the ION track count as a lane?

No. If you're suggesting they should use another word, what word should they use?

The Record is also reporting the work to rebuild some of the concrete platforms, using the same quotes as CTV it seems.

Of course, bravo to the record for clearly and accurately stating:
"The cost falls on GrandLinq as part of its light rail project agreement with the Region of Waterloo."

GrandLinq has a paint crew out this morning painting all the traction power substations to remove the graffiti! There are also, unfortunately, a whackload of guys at R&T who are now chipping away the concrete that was already repoured once *again*. Holy moley.

Why would they change them twice in about two weeks? Kind of silly to not do it the first time!

So is anybody clear on the real reason for the re-work? People around here were I believe convinced it was to ground the rebar. But the article mentions only the distance from the track. So it is not clear to me which is the real explanation (or maybe two mistakes were made and both are correct).

I thought they had already made an error with distance to track in Waterloo a while back. That is why I was surprised to hear they made the error again.

Two separate issues. The media is correct that the new platform rework that started in the past few weeks was for the distance to the rail CL. They don't know about the grounding issue.
