LRT Construction in Ottawa:

1: Dig a trench.
2: Cover it with a concrete slab to make a tunnel.
3: Cover the concrete with engineered fill and asphalt.
4: Start digging that shit up again.

Mixed #OttawaLRT experiences today:

Con: the system that shows departure times is down (though the trains are still running regularly every 5m).

Pro: I had forgotten about an early work meeting, so I joined the video call on my phone at Tunney's Pasture (with earbuds, mostly listening), and mobile internet worked, hickup-free, for the whole ride to Parliament (including the downtown tunnel) and then up the elevator to street level. (!!!)
