Damn...That station integration would have been amazing. I'm still pissy that there isn't direct access through the Dream and OCH lots to the library with some kind of tunnel or halllway.

From Auxtown on SSP
Those massings for buildings along Nanny Goat Hill excite me. They break the square grid that make the West end of the downtown tabletop so...blocky.

Yeah those potential future buildings on the realigned Albert would go a long way in tying the CBD and Lebreton skylines as well as provide more of a continuous urban experience, and ideally retail at street level.

Yeah those buildings that for the potential Albert strip will be such an important addition to Lebreton and connecting it to the CBD. I really hope they will have active street frontage on steroids so the whole area is just pure walkability. Same with the OCH lot and city lot.
Plus if we get some decent heights there (with the OCH one being 32-35 floors) and one of those Albert lots being 40 floors, it would improve our skyline so much!!

With WSP on site, pretty sure they are doing excavating windows for further environmental testing. 2 weeks min. Before the big dig

A couple photos from my bike home yesterday.
- There are now hay bales on site
- There is fencing up around the complete site
- There are porta potties on site
- They filled the hole they were digging yesterday.
As @BGO mentioned, it was WSP on site. They wouldn't be doing the excavation so assume its just testing. But with everything else showing up to site, its going to be starting soon.
