I spotted the milling machine heading northbound by Bonnie Doon last Thursday.

That machine looks so metal I love it.

What a saga. Let's hope we avoid this drama...

Yeah Ottawa basically built what should've been an automated light metro system as a low-floor light rail line for... reasons, I guess?

It's our version of the Dr. Yellow - Shinkansen

So sad to see many lives put at risk. I wonder if there was sufficient geotechnical analysis done on the downtown portion of the line.

I wonder if the Mill Woods train signals have been tested yet.

Nope, still fixed in one position and not cycling.

Truly a spectacular addition to our city in so many ways.

Has testing of the rail track resumed yet? I'm just hearing crickets.

Biked to Tawatina last weekend. Time-stamped the bridge on this video if anyone wants a video crossing it:

Well yeah, those crickets are the ones doing the track testing!

 

[The_Cat]

Well the weather should be better for rail tuning and systems testing.

Noticed that the survey stakes are up along the 156st south from Stoney plain rd.

Calling it right now. Not enough thought was put into running the train down the SPR corridor between West Block and the Brewery District, and not to beat a dead horse, Valley Line West is going to cause major N-S traffic disruptions along it's entire route.

Though this line benefits me directly owning one block from Alex Decoteau Stop, I wish the route had been chosen for more practical civil reasons, and not for redevelopment potential.
