Photos taken Sept 21st, 2022: notes: significant progress on forming and wiring (lighting bases are going in quickly), testing patches for paving treatment as well; some waterworks and other items still be be completed, paving, extensive top soil and planting, along w/site furnishing. Depending on crew deployment, year-end is possible, but they're going to have to push a bit.

Normally, I don't follow up on sites unless a couple of weeks have passed, but since I was in the area, this one generates keen interest, a few pics, taken October 2nd, 2022:

Note that there has been visible progress with new forming assembled, and lots of additional bases. Still a considerable distance to cover to wrap this one in time for winter (I strongly suspect some plantings will need to wait for spring, but we shall see)

I think we are looking at the newly cast exposed aggregate concrete pathway here - nice texture.

They had poured a sample piece a few weeks ago, if they selected that it will be great. M Cormier conquers again!

I blew up the image to have a good look {just now, and haven't yet figured out a way to share that)......(but I will, I think), LOL

I can confirm, by looking at it that this is a final product path.

Nice choice; a bit different than what was originally spec'ed, and I think that speaks really well of Claude who is great at managing budget and finding a way (a path) to deliver his vision at or close to budget.

The trees I want to have a look at in person. But I'm hopeful based on past achievement. Right time of year for anything that can be fall planted.
 
If I recall correctly both concrete and pavers are going in here - pavers will primarily be around the fountain
 
This is a super-sized blow-up, so the resolution is a bit fuzzy, it's a trade:

You can see there are some deficiencies to work on. But I'm confident that will happen. Definitely not iented to go higher, based on the residual curb height.

Bunch of shots from today (October 18th) including a closeup of that concrete that was being discussed

Excellent Series @Tunafish13

Looks to me like the vast majority of the trees, if not all of them are in. I think there might be one or two more.

A bit surprised to see so many are leafless at this point, doesn't mean they aren't healthy, may indicate they were sourced from a central or northern Ontario nursery.

Path is looking decent, they've made a fair bit of progress; if they continue to push this hard, I think they could wrap everything but the herbaceous plants by mid-November.

Those would almost certainly have to wait for spring

Tony Vizzini, a PM at Somerville Construction (and hell of a good guy!), posted a video on LinkedIn today of the bronze animals being cast for Love Park. Couldn’t post a link but here a couple of screen shots from his video. FYI: Tony frequently posts drone progress shots of the park on his LinkedIn page. He’s worked on nearly every park in the central waterfront. Worth a follow!

We are getting animals for Love Park? I thought it was only for the Cat Park - more the merrier!

I didn’t realize there would be animal figures in the park. It’s getting to be more and more like Park Güell!
