February 27, 2024

So the crane was fully assembled Friday. Here are some pictures taken just now. On the last picture, you will see a new generator (right next to the front of the truck). This was brought in to power the crane. When in use, it is very loud and sounds like a truck is parked right underneath my...

January 16, 2024 It appears portions of the crane are being installed this week. Pieces have been delivered and setup since yesterday and they use the back of the former Girl Guides office (recently closed and vacated) as a staging area for the large trucks to pull into, therefore Merton has...

Another taken just now to show how quick things are progressing

January 30, 2024 Crane base prep work progressing.

I’m back and posting a couple pictures of the site with the poured concrete.

I’m out of the country, so can’t post views from my side, but will provide an update when I’m back. If I recall, the crane installation was to begin end of January, which is on track. https://www.30mertondevelopment.com/

Updated pictures taken just now (December 21, 2023). It appears as the Bell utility box was removed yesterday. The Rogers cable as well as a Gas one remain there for now.

November 28, 2023 A few updated pictures as we wrap up November. Activity has been ramping up in the past few weeks in preparation for the crane installation next month, I believe.

October 25, 2023 update: Changes since last time: - Concrete barricades were installed on Merton, blocking part of the sidewalk as it is used for their own equipment and material. (Likely to be expanded as construction progresses, especially when crane is installed) - Bottom seems to have been...

October 11, 2023 A few changes in the past few days: 1. Concrete barriers were installed on Merton yesterday. 2. Excavation has begun at the site of the original ramp, so a new ramp was built on the South Eastern side of the site. 3. Developer site says that hoarding work (concrete beams...

September 27, 2023 Excavation continues (and getting quite deep, especially at the north-west end). Picture taken minutes ago:

Another thing to note is that on Friday evening, the city removed the parking fare/ticket machine from that area. I thought this would be a sign the area would be blocked off, but nothing yet.

August 10, 2023 Excavation began on Tuesday (August 8) and expected to last several weeks. p.s. unless mentioned otherwise, all pictures posted were taken minutes before posting.

It's been a little while since anything has been posted, so I will share some pictures taken just now (July 20, 2023). The developer site was just updated. Drilling of piles are happening on the south wall and Excavation will begin next week.
