Fence going up around the property today. The parking pay machines and commercial billboard that was there have been removed.

So the excavators working on this site hit a gas line today Merton street closed off for hours, nearby building(s) evacuated...

Wow. So this has actually started?

Off topic maybe, but what happened to the abandoned LCBO building at Yonge & Millwood nearby? I can't believe a patch of land on Yonge street so close to Davisville has been left empty.

I'd walk down there.. but it's too cold today

Oh yeah they've been at it since before Christmas - here's a photo of how it looks today (with bonus gas company guys, still trying to fix the leak).

Re: the LCBO site, yup it's sitting empty with no real signs of activity for well over a year now, maybe longer. There's a thread about it here but no updates since Dec 2012:

Thanks for the update. Merton seems like a great place to live, especially since you've got easy access to the Belt Line trail.

Would really appreciate seeing another picture or 2 here. I am a retired engineer living in Florida and have a son in Toronto who says he got a new job working on a new building on Merton Street (I think). I recall he mentioned a "gas leak". (I have very limited communication with him.) If I can see a red GMC Suburban vehicle parked on site in your picture then I know he does have a job working at this site and hope he does well at it. Thanks.

Wow! Thank you so much for the 3 recent photos. Now I understand the very frustrating situation my son is dealing with getting excavation dirt removed off site and out of way of further excavation work without being supplied in a timely manner with dump-trucks required to do this. Such a logistic nightmare must surely impact on scheduled completion date for the whole project. And this is only the very beginning of a long haul. Thanks again for great photos.

My Daughter lives in the apartment behind the construction. The parking lot gives a great view of the construction.
