Nope! The parking levels will follow the shape of the podiums to avoid the CSST that runs below grade here. The north side of the podiums also follows the alignment of the old Wellington Street as a bit of a nod to the historical past of the site. Also, at the bottom right of @hoggytime's photo...

This is so unfortunate. People are just going to continue to cross at-grade because that is easier. It will act like a desire line.

These are all being taken out and a new, more permeable landscape treatment will be installed. The goal of the BHC at grade level was security. The NCC is very different.

FYI Stantec/Merrick/Dialog were the team that took the project through schematic design. Moving forward it is being done by Provencher Roy/Perkins&Will https://www.canada.ca/en/public-services-procurement/news/2024/03/government-of-canada-invests-in-laboratories-to-support-science-in-canada.html

The federal government talks an awful lot about the housing crisis and getting homes built but then continues to sit on huge parcels of land that have plans approved (Booth St, Tunneys, etc.) I know there is lots to deal with behind the scenes but it's frustrating.

It's hard to develop a skyline around your transit stations when all the TOD land is occupied by a highway.

Exciting news for sure.

Okay so when I first looked at those screenshots I was a bit disappointed because it seems silly to have two roads that both have bidirectional vehicle lanes on both sides of the park. I admittedly haven't followed this project super closely. But before just complaining, I figured I should watch...

This is huge for the city! It's the property outlined in red below and potentially green as well? The green outlines are separate properties but are also labelled as 100 Constellation on GeoOttawa. The two lots with red "?" on them are not labelled but could also be included. The blue shaded...

Shoring started this week. As of yesterday, it looked like they had completed 7 or 8 piles.

He had an event where he presented the concept and had a panel discussion with some people from the industry. It was really well attended and nice to see so many people generally on board with the idea. His intent is not so much to have this built but more to start a discussion about how the...
