[ProjectEnd]

No pictures but I drove by last night and can confirm that this has definitely started. There are several machines on site and dirt has been piled up! Oh the excitement!

I can't wait to see what value engineering will bring to this project.

I'm just glad that this site will no longer exist in some kind of Kafkaesque limbo.

A field of wildflowers with an open area for dog "walking" would be a huge improvement over dirt and weeds and at a low cost.

Yay! I'm so excited for this project! Everytime I'm on the gardiner, I always see this plot of land all dirty and gross but it will soon be one of the nicest parks in the city!

Did you see anything going on? It seems like they flattened it and took out all the vegetation and that nothing else has happened.

No no, that's the final product ...parks open !

; - )


Given the budget they have on most of these projects I'm only half joking.

They are now going to be tending part 2 of the building process (see Nathan Phillips Square reno).

 

[PinkLucy]

They are now making mounds of dirt

 

[achender]

Seem to be preparing for some water related and other infrastructure.

Unfortunately I don't think this'll be finished until October/November. Sigh.
