This is now above grade with some of the first floor columns being poured on the south side. The ground floor slab is completed for about a third of the building with underground plumbing/electrical work still occuring along the remainder, they are also still pouring footings on the side closest...

The bridge was complete gone by the end of Friday. Yesterday and today they were processing the demolished materials. December 16

This is a project that has been going through the approval process relatively quietly in Kitchener since it doesn't need to go through the OPA/ZBA process as it conforms to the existing Res-7 zoning in the 2019-051 bylaw. It originally had SPA filed in 2022 with conditional approval in 2023, in...

The bridge was mostly gone around noon today, on Monday they took down what was left of the M3 bridge with the support columns being removed Wednesday, this morning all that was left was the center span of the MC/DC bridge which should be completely gone by the end of the day tomorrow. They have...

For all of your hopes about IN8 abandoning this it's NOT going to happen they have surprisingly deep pockets and good luck on it getting a different design, sure it could have but its slim to none knowing IN8. It will either turn out like the render or become worse (yes its possible). For some...

It's been just over a week since the last photo and PDI has made some decent progress on the demolition. The bridge is now entirely disconnected from DC with the first span entirely removed, the first red support column has also been removed I just don't have a picture of it. Over the last...

The first two buildings are effectively complete (55 Franklin and 50 Eighth Ave), however they still have 2 more to build on the property (59 Franklin and 54 Eighth). The building permit is issued for the third building (54 Eighth Ave) and foundations were poured a couple of weeks ago.

It's not likely but if a train were to get super delayed once they are operating at 5-7.5 minute frequencies it could happen. I know currently when a train gets delayed from loading and unloading during rush hour it'll often times get delayed by 3-4 minutes, so by the time KW gets to those...

KW's LRT had similar issues with the signaling software when the line initially opened. KW's operates with LOS and ATP with ATP purely for the dedicated corridors (Mill to Fairway along the CN and Hydro right of way, Uptown Waterloo to Northfield along the existing train right of way) however...

When I was involved on the site in the summer most floors we were pouring were well over 8 feet we were in the podium at that time so it had some really strange floor heights but the shortest I recall was the mezzanine level which was slightly shorter than the rest of the levels. Digging up the...

Today they put an excavator up onto the roof of the bridge to start the concrete removal to separate the bridge from MC and DC before Priestly starts taking the rest down with their high reach. When you were in the halls of MC close to the bridge you could really hear them breaking up the...

This is one of the affordable housing redevelopment projects that the Region is undertaking on their existing sites. This is the largest of the redevelopments, there are a few that are in the design phase but they aren't as large in terms of unit count and height at least in the current...

Much of the foundation work is done on the site now, they are forming the finally footings and below grade walls on the University Ave side of the project but it won't be long until there is visible above ground work occurring. Photo from the morning of November 20

The way it works with the ION is when a crash happens the section where the crash gets isolated from the rest of the line, so if a crash happens let's say between Mill and Kitchener Market, trains will run from Fairway to Mill and then Kitchener Market to Conestoga with a bus bridge created...

They mobilized on site in the last week of October when Gillam brought in their site trailer. The same week they started doing excavation pits throughout the site to gauge the depth of fiber optics, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water mains. Over the next two weeks they ripped out much of...

The only real place along the ION line where it takes a curve at speed is along the previous freight right of way between Uptown and Northfield. Even then it's such a gradual curve that it's barely noticeable. The curves aren't even the biggest issue with the ION its the lack of TSP. It does...

A lot of the capacity issues that KW has is really because of how far the major trip generators are from each other which really forces everyone into a very small number of corridors but it isn't limited to the obvious corridors, obviously it does become beneficial having the trip generators...

KW does have a decent N-S, E-W grid, its certainly not a perfect grid but the arterials due tend to follow a N-S, E-W pattern. The main E-W network consists of Ottawa, Victoria, Fairway, Bleams, Block Line, New Dundee, Bridgeport, Erb, Columbia, University (for the most part), then N-S you have...

Nothing has changed in terms of permits as of yet so the tower crane isn't going to be very active unless the city issues permits/conditional permits soon. Currently they have the following permits issued: Balance of Construction for Building A (The structurally complete building, internal fit...

This is one of the first redevelopments of existing WRH sites that the Region of Waterloo is under taking, it's also by far one of the smaller ones, when there's more information on the others I'll make threads, there is progress happening but nothing public facing yet. This site itself has...
