Large stretches of the ION (7.5km roughly) run side running or center running, so it has to deal with not only left turn but also a fair amount of right turn traffic constantly. Even then it doesn't even complicate it that much, yes there's crashes but it's close to one a month if that.

As someone from KW it's hilarious sitting and watching this all unfold as people have for years complained about the ION being "slow", yet now that Finch is up and running the same people are seemingly using it as the gold standard.

Much of the justification for the speed is the amount of dedicated right of way and using existing rail corridors to their benefit. When it leaves Fairway it immediately goes up on a bridge to cross Fairway and the CP tracks, before running on a very short stretch of the River Rd extension...

The difference is spending millions more on design work and construction to the benefit of very few in comparison to the length of bypass already approved, years down the road if the demand is there, sure go ahead but right now the interchanges at 10th Sideroad and down the 400 at Simcoe Road 88...

This building is now up to 10 floors. The picture was taken December 7. Work has been noticeably slower recently thanks to the gusty winds and snow squalls.

KW and Guelph have a tendency of voting for the wrong party when it comes to getting infrastructure funding. There is progress on 7, tonight they're demolishing the Frederick Street bridge to allow for the wider highway alignment with the ramps. The Grand River bridges are also in detailed...

Yes. The current plan (30%) is to the east of the Credit River.

I can't say much but there will be major work from Silver Junction to the 407. The flyover is planned to the east of the Credit River Bridge before Winston Churchill. The Credit River Bridge is planned to be 3 tracks, I don't recall how tracks are being split across the bridge. The corridor...

The townhomes and the apartments along the 401 are complete. However the entire subdivision is not yet complete, the portion of the site along Pinebush still hasn't been developed.

Tower 1 has been completed, Tower 2 is very much a work in progress, the overall project is not yet complete.

I have now been out this way again during the day, this is taken from about 2.4 km away.

This one is now up to the 26th floor, 3 more to go until top out. As I mentioned earlier this was split into 2 phases, someone I know was talking with Stephen Litt (CEO of Vive) and asked about why it's being phased after I inquired about it, Litt's answer was effectively just for staging...

Based upon the update to Waterloo Region's Official Plan (ROPA 6) Breslau can extend all the way to Shantz Station Road, which brings the boundary within 6km. However if more sprawl happens in KW it will be towards Guelph so it may connect, you will not see KW sprawl to the west or south, since...

Tangentially related but there is slow incremental progress happening on Hwy 7 in Kitchener. The bridge demo for Frederick Street which required the relocation of a sanitary forcemain on the east side of the bridge is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of December 6th and 7th. The Grand...

This isn't approved yet. Momentum is trying to sell another tower in Kitchener and it's not going well so this is years away. There's stipulations in the land swap agreement on not building and the city getting the land back however nothings even approved yet so give it time.

Going to happen anytime soon, likely not. This doesn't even have approvals yet with some of it stemming from flight paths.

For those curious the tower crane is now up for tower 2 (23 floors), they've been working on the excavation for the last little bit and started some foundation works. I unfortunately don't have a picture since I went by this evening after it was dark, but if I venture this way again I'll try to...

This may be changing. There has been internal discussions about adding overlaps back in after they've been removed. There's been complaints to councillors to the extent that it's being considered again.

Yeah, its a combination, originally it was only new signals/rebuilds, however last year they got approval from council for the enhancement program (the large scale replacement/modernization). There's over 700 signals in Mississauga so its not going to be a quick project. This year as part of...

Mississauga will be doing a large scale replacement, they are planning on doing it over 10 years. They have a couple of ways they're doing this. New/rebuild signals are being built with the black face with the yellow reflective backboard as anyone can see when they drive through intersections...
