CONSTRUCTION of the initial phase of the Ion light rail network in the Canadian city of Waterloo reached a milestone on November 7, when LRV testing began on a section of line close to the depot on Dutton Drive.
Light rail is experiencing a renaissance in cities throughout Canada with various new lines planned and some currently under construction, as Kevin Smith discovers.
THE Regional Municipality of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, has issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for a design, build, finance, operate and maintain public-private partnership contract for the initial phase of the region's light rail project.
