Did they really just take out a large square of the newly placed pavers and replace them with asphalt?

*Did they really replace asphalt with pavement stones **before** major construction even began of one of the largest construction sites in city history

fixed it for you, lol

I assume they will come back in the spring and remove the ashphalt and put back the paving stones (I see they did this in East Village next to the EV608 building). It does beg the question why they would do the road improvements now before the arena is done construction…..

They've done road improvements up to that intersection (Stampede Trail - 14th Ave SE.)
North of that intersection they've only done the west sidewalk

While I dont know this for a fact, but based on geography and access, the vast majority of heavy construction access is from the south. Just seems a bit wild to me they would have completed any of the interior roadway stones (sidewalks, curbing, lighting is fine) knowing that would occur. Even if no major damage, just heavy wear and tear

Have been there weekly since construction started. The large majority of construction access has been on the east end of the site, via 12th Ave to 5A St. I haven't seen any heavy equipment traverse through the paving stone road areas.

speaking to some people on site they said the road on the south side was going to be raised substantially, not sure how that fits in to the current brick road.

14th Ave is likely already close to the level it needs to be at Stampede Trail. It's the east end near 5a street that needs raising

They had started cutting down trees along the south side of the road a couple weeks ago so I figured that must have been the reason.

 

[Roaring Flames]

If they're digging up 14th Ave soon to raise it, are they also removing the access ramp at the same time?

Not to sidetrack things but have there been any progress on the 6th street underpass? Is that supposed to open when the arena does?

They have barriers and whatnot set up on 9th Ave so I assume they're getting ready to start in the spring

 

[FCC1982]

Has there been a design released yet of the 6th St. underpass or will it just be a copy of 4th St. ?

 

[Roaring Flames]

Sounds like it'll be a copy of the 4th Street underpass by this description on the city's project webpage:

The underpass will provide a new connection under CPKC rail, running north-south between 9 Avenue S.E and 11 Avenue S.E. at 6 Street S.E. It will feature two lanes in each direction along with well-lit pathways for pedestrians and active mode connections.

I’m not liking all that dead space from the top row to the roof of the building. I wish they could have placed some windows there to bring in natural sunlight.
