Kinda funny that they're still doing OL "consultations" and yet already demolishing stuff.
Demolishing is just getting rid of the stuff that would be in the way for the construction. It can lie fallow for months, allowing for the ground to settle. Could be used as a parking lot in the meantime.
 
Early works/demo work is also starting in the basement of the Hudson Bay store at Yonge and Queen. I think the Building Permit was posted earlier in the thread.

Well, I did post that the permit was 'under review'............it appears they had a hiccup:

They got flunked on 'Structure'.
 
Noting the above demolition photos, @mburrrrr posted the O/L related construction work that has begun at the First Parliament site in the thread for same.

I will link that post here:


With full credit to mburrr, I will post one of his pics, and leave him to decide whether to cross-post the rest.

There must be an election coming up soon because things are moving fast.

It will probably get promoted as much as possible.
Also sink a bunch of costs into the project so it can’t be cancelled or used as campaign promise to cancel. ….. Or less likely too be cancelled but the neighbors will complain and the contractor sues when it does. Does this sound familiar?
