Another thing to note is that on Friday evening, the city removed the parking fare/ticket machine from that area. I thought this would be a sign the area would be blocked off, but nothing yet.

Excavation continues (and getting quite deep, especially at the north-west end). Picture taken minutes ago:

A few changes in the past few days:
1. Concrete barriers were installed on Merton yesterday.
2. Excavation has begun at the site of the original ramp, so a new ramp was built on the South Eastern side of the site.
3. Developer site says that hoarding work (concrete beams, scaffolding, etc) was to begin last week on Al Green lane, but so far, nothing taking place there yet. Just a few markings on the ground.

October 25, 2023 update:

Changes since last time:
- Concrete barricades were installed on Merton, blocking part of the sidewalk as it is used for their own equipment and material. (Likely to be expanded as construction progresses, especially when crane is installed)
- Bottom seems to have been reached on the North side and expending towards the north (Excavation likely to be completed in the next week or two, at this rate.)
- Today, scaffolding installation began on Al Green Lane.

A few updated pictures as we wrap up November. Activity has been ramping up in the past few weeks in preparation for the crane installation next month, I believe.

Looks like they're setting up the construction office today. (Taken by a friend, posted with permission).

Updated pictures taken just now (December 21, 2023).
It appears as the Bell utility box was removed yesterday. The Rogers cable as well as a Gas one remain there for now.

Concrete! Possibly a crane in the near future, I haven't looked in the pit to confirm it.

I’m out of the country, so can’t post views from my side, but will provide an update when I’m back. If I recall, the crane installation was to begin end of January, which is on track.

I’m back and posting a couple pictures of the site with the poured concrete.
