A bit late posting these, but here's my construction update contribution. .

Moderators, perhaps this works better under Neighbourhood Node / Corktown ?

Literally, just 2. I was out this past Sunday on what turned out to be a balmy mid-winter afternoon, doing a routine construction thread update and heading for the River City Phase 3 condominium. The overpasses in this neighbourhood are an interesting urban feature. They're dark, they're...
