Add Park St between Union and Glasgow to the list. It was a mess this morning as I drove by. See also Kitchener Road Closures and Waterloo Road Closures. More where those came from via Google.

Updated.

[RangersFan]

Good idea for a thread Urbanomicon, looks like a lot of roads will be going under the knife this construction season.

[Urbanomicon]

Added regional road construction and what work is being done.

[IEFBR14]

I have no idea how to do it, but what would be awesome would be a Google map of Waterloo region that shows all of the roads affected with pop-up descriptions of each project. Even better would be a colour-coding scheme to indicate which projects are completed, under way or in the immediate future. Is this technically possible? How difficult would it be to do it (and to keep it current)?

Good idea. I'll have a look at it and see what I can do.

[Urbanomicon]

I have added the first draft of a Google Map with all of the roads scheduled to undergo construction / infrastructure upgrades (see above).

[IEFBR14]

That looks great! Have you considered contacting the Record about doing a feature on this project? That would give us a lot of positive exposure and drive traffic to this site.

Here's the map with all of the roads on one page:

Great work, by the way!

How did you get them to all show on one page?

[Osiris]

A small trick:

1) Right click the "View in Google Earth", select "Copy Shortcut" (or "Copy Link Location"...)

2) Open new tab/window with Google Maps

3) Paste the copied URL into the Search Maps field - Search for it, then use new link.

Looks fantastic! You can embed the map right into the first post if you want by using the map tags, Im not exactly sure what you put inside them though, I'll look into it, unless someone already knows.

I've thought that about a couple of the projects/issues we've worked on/talked about here on WW. I think it's definitely something we should consider. The Chronicle is also a possibility.

You just paste the url inside the Map tags, like so
