It means you choose to pay or not pay commensurate with your risk profile.
I actually was for some reason under the impression that access to the platform would be restricted, so thank you for the knowledge that we'll be using Proof-of-Payment.

Looks like the first embedded track had its concrete poured today, according to https://www.facebook.com/rideION/photos/...59/?type=3 .

According to the Regional Community Services Committee (see page 38 of the agenda) public art will be installed at these stations: Conestoga, Research & Technology, Grand River Hospital, Kitchener Market, Mill, Block Line, and Fairway.
Interesting to think on what potential each area has for an installation.

it was poured where the trucks pulled in/out of the former maple leaf. They probably need access to it, but with the other tracks sitting there it might be a bit.

They will pour it in small sections like this. You can see the "dams" for the concrete for the next sections in the image.

Quote:“Waterloo Street with a substation on it is an unsafe condition that together with any unsafe act will be a threat to the life and limb of those who pass by,” Bryan Smith said in a delegation to council last month.
What??
NIMBYism at it's finest. Here we go...
Where can we see details of this new location? Google tells me it's about 250 m from the ROW - I've never seen a traction power substation that far from a guideway before, that I can recall.

Where exactly is the substation going? On the street? It makes reference to the "single proposed sidewalk" on Waterloo, so is it going where one sidewalk is now?
I think the objection could have been made more clear; I'm not understanding what the issues are.
