Nov 1. Couldn't get a good view of the roof, but can see that weatherproofing has continued to be installed on the top walls. Seems like a good sign the damage was superficial and won't require major rework. Untitled by ION Construction, on Flickr Uptown Waterloo station platform ready to be...

How long did the Weber St. grade separation take? With King St. just getting underway, I would think this could quickly end up on the critical path - for construction, anyawy, who knows about vehicle delivery.

Bizarre. Taking GO or VIA to Malton and then either walking or TTC/MiWay/GO would be cheaper and faster - I have done both. Not sure how people miss the Malton option. I'm sure VIA does not want to add another stop to the Sarnia milk run, but swapping the Malton stop with Weston could work.

To illustrate - here's the poured section adjacent to about-to-be-poured: Untitled by ION Construction, on Flickr The beams supporting the rails prior to pouring are just anchored in the roadbed.

Thanks for posting. Disappointed that GO chose not to stop the new Route 30 bus at Cambridge. That would have been the best way to boost GO service to Cambridge with 0 cost and impact to the Milton line.

Another gem from that report: This is great news for accessing Pearson from the West, much needed. I'd like to see what the scheduled time from Square One to Pearson via Transitway would be and how it compares to MiWay 107.

+1 In addition to this, IMO the best way to increase GO Service to Cambridge would be for this hypothetical bus to stop at SmartCentres, just like the the 25 currently does, and meet the train at Bramalea. This would be a far more effective way to get downtown than the 25 --> Square One -->...

I'm not 100% certain, but my bet is that they'll work as follows (based on this set of drawings): Shift Huon Park Spur to the new west bridge Remove existing structure Build second east bridge for LRT As for the Highway 7 overpass, a second tunnel was built during the recent widening of that...

Nice Catch!

Just north of Hayward - Google Maps. The construction site was hidden until a lot of trees along the Huron Park spur were removed a couple months ago. Should not be long before they are laying track in North Waterloo and adding second tracks to the at-grade crossings at Bearinger and Columbia.
