In addition to the station cleaning, I observed turnout maintenance Downtown. There were some new switch points on a trailer, presumably for installation. They were doing something at the top old Connors Hill that I never did figure out what it was an.
Ultrasonic rail testing was completed on the whole line.
Some work associated with replacing curb ramps, so jackhammering out more concrete, was done as part of a group of miscellaneous projects related to fencing and curb ramp replacement that the City tendered for earlier this year.
Given that it was nearly 2 years until the first planned shutdown, that's not bad. Ottawa has seen many more in the same timeframe.

I don't suppose TransEd did anything about their downtown landscaping/planters along the route - like putting some plants in them.?

I've said it before and it still holds true. Every weekday, even now in late September, that I ride the Valley Line I see crews working on landscaping. For whatever reason it seems the Downtown landscaping doesn't fall under TransEd at this point, unless there is perhaps some sort of dispute.
The landscaping Downtown has been done in past years. Given complaints of other planters that fall clearly under the City's responsibility, like LRT station entrances, that haven't been planted either this year, it seems it is more so a City problem and not a TransEd problem.
 
 
It seems it will be done in three parts.
They have already completed the right side so heres hoping it doesn't become to big of an issue.

Did they install the track slab and rail yet?
