Architechtural Rendering looking North from South ApproachOriginally scheduled to be completed in 2009, the Walker Road/CP rail grade separation seems to be running ahead of schedule. Early completion date is July/August. Add pants and November is likely. Here is what the project looks like today:
LOOKING NORTH TO SOUTH
WITHOUT TRAIN
FROM TRACKS LOOKING SOUTH TO TECUMSEH ROAD
SHORING. POSSIBLY FOR "WINE RIVER" DIVERSION
LOOKING TOWARD TECUMSEH ROAD
NEW TRUSS WITH STEEL TRACK BED
NEW TRUSS NEXT TO CURRENT TRACKS ON RIGHT
LOOKING NORTH FROM SOUTH APPROACH
VIEW SOUTH TO TECUMSEH ROAD FROM DEAD CENTER
CURRENT TRACKS SOUTH OF NEW TRUSS
TONKA TOY. THERE'S TWO OF EM
A PAIR OF SHOVELS
Taking all bets. Before deadline, deadline or after deadline? July, August, September, November, December, 2009?

I'm a pessimist, January 2010. (it's still early yet)
Wine River????
You mean Grand Marais drainage ditch don't you?
One and the same. I don't have a W on my chest for nothing.
I think it looks like Drouillard Rd and Wyandotte E. I still have not heard why they couldn't make the trains go UNDER Walker Rd.
It isn't on time as it was delayed from the start so I have to go with "not on time".
Dave...U R right. It looks like Drouillard and Wyandotte where there is an intersection underneath. In this case Grand Marais to Walker with a traffic light at the bottom. This might be dangerous. The problem in putting tracks underneath is that the whole rail grade from Howard and beyond to the west and probably to Central in the east would have to be lowered significantly. Very costly and tricky. Might also have something to do with the Grand Marais drainage ditch which runs beside it as well.
I say December.
I hope it is done early! It is such a nuiscance having to go to Central or Howard whenever I want to go down to Silver City, Best Buy, or any of those Walker Road stores.
Just a reminder to keep the flame wars at bay. Just manners. This posting takes the place of another which was deleted not because the comment was invalid. To an urbanist it was very valid. Calling another commenter an "idiot" was not called for and using someone elses handle was cowardly. If you are a real urbanist, you aren't helping your cause much.
Dear Mr. Mayor,
I've noted no new articles to ponder. Why is this? Rumor has it you've been paid off by the City of Windsor to lay low. Is this true? The other rumor, you are running a pyramid scheme selling recycled manure. Please respond...
I've noticed your site has been removed from Chris Schnnurs blogroll... just curious. was this your idea or his?
I'm not worthy.
why do you think your worthyness has vanished?
