This is Now, but today's NOW has nothing to do with the old one. It's just a viral marketing tool.

I remember seeing articles when Hudson yards first opened about how much of a disaster it was. Bland, sterile, unhuman, and empty.
I just visited today and it was bustling. Jam packed, people everywhere, from the mall, to the lookout etc.
The well is clearly an incredible space. I’ll give it some time to actually fill the large shoes it’s made for itself.

Our tax dollars hard at work, no coordination, no project management

Unless this is emergency work, this is just plain bureaucrat stupidity.

Are you kidding me? How is it possible that this happens on almost every new site?

I assume in the least that they're planning to put it back together when all is said and done?

The Utility locates are not (always) a sign that anything will be dug up again; they show where conduit is going so cable puller know how far each access hole is etc etc. That said, they can certainly foretell an excavation as a conduit may be blocked!

Incompetence is the word that comes to mind.

There is usually a moratorium on ripping up new roads. So projects often are coordinated to avoid getting stuck not being able to tear it up afterwards.

You really want to give Toronto Hydro another reason to destroy our sidewalks?

Complaints about unburied hydro wires are a renewable resource and part of their net zero strategy. Thank you for your continued outrage.

Today, just poking in from Cityplace. You can see the office tower to the right in my third image. As I walked around the big park in this part of town, I thought of how beneficial the potential railyard deck park would be in knitting these two parts of the city together.
