Wow, I really need to pay attention when I read stuff.

No timeframe on the actual construction though, so it could still be two years.

This week blasting began at 1047 Richmond Road for the construction of the two towers.

I am disappointed that no one from the development reached out to let me know this would be starting in order to provide notice to residents.

To our knowledge, the blasting will last two days (yesterday and today), followed by about a week break, which they will use to dig out the blasted rock, followed by two more days of blasting.

According to the information we received, the purpose of this work is to remove contaminated materials before the building construction begins.

Once they have removed the rock required, the hole will be filled in until construction phase.

Rock can't be contaminated except if its porous (which would be very surprising for the area) or filled of cracks (which wouldnt require blasting, just hammering). Blasting to fill and to unfill is a waste of money. Why would they do that? That counselor seems to have close to zero knowledge/info about what's happening in her ward.

This is so odd. It seems like they're starting but not wanting to say so.

Maybe it's because they are waiting for approval to admit they're starting?
