^The more I think about what the "official" story on the delayed opening, the more I think it is still the City-managed 11th Street West (Kerby) Station that is to blame. Utility companies dragging their feet on moving lines was what was blamed, but given that there are no visible signs of a holdup anywhere else except that critical block between 10th and 11th Streets. The cause may in fact be from utility relocation, but the affect seem to be limited to that area.
There was a lot of utility work along Sarcee Trail but that doesn't seem to have affected progress in that area of the project very much.
Stations are pretty much done, trackwork has to be well over halfway completed, signals are going up. Still lots of electrical work to do, but there is still a year left until the original opening date.
