    Scaffolding is up so they can insulate the underside of the "cantilevered" space. Also much of the landscaping has now been completed.

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Can you point me to specifically where? I've gone over that site in the past and the best I could find was reference to spending $750k to have some limited detailed design done. https://www.engagewr.ca/9466/widgets/37498/documents/70014 It also references intending to use the $43m secured...

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Thanks for posting this, It''s very much phase 2 I was talking about, as you said, phase one is clearly critical. Where did you get this info from, I've been looking and couldn't find it, hence my wildly inaccurate assumption the split was like 10/95. (I also hadn't realized they were putting...

    But are they? And $104m worth? Once they move the Go station next year, they'll have everything already "connected". Adding some shelter and improving circulation around the site makes sense, but I don't really see that needing $104m (less whatever will be spent to improve stuff next...

    I'm starting to wonder what's the point of the new building. The work they're (hopefully) doing next year will provide the platform and bus loops. A couple ramps down to the LRT and what more is really needed for the station to actually work? I'm kinda wondering if it (or a least $95M of it)...

    Mechanical penthouse is going in, as is the glazing for the top floor.

    Photos of the building from the north east showing the underground parking access; glassed in interestingly, the nearby parking structure being built (steel structure, so going up fast), and a view of the Iron horse Trail Cherry Park connection path under construction...

    There was an art installation done at the site a few weeks ago, video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ970eIA40e/ that also gives some aerial views of the state of completion.

    The parkade beside the Breithaupt buildings was actually cancelled because of community opposition to the potential traffic. I believe the net result is that space can now be used for a 4 storey building, but that definitely wasn't the goal/reason it was moved. The parkade being built will not...
