As a St. Mike's grad, kinda sad to see this. I used to play soccer on that field all the time. A bit ambivalent about the idea of skyscrapers hemming the university in more and more, even if the visual effect is spectacular. Will hurt the hermetic neighborhood vibe that Marshall McLuhan Way creates.

View from June 29: digging deeper, ramp moved to the south end.

And with that, I lost my vantage point; work moved June 30.

I get it, I really do. I'm "kinda sad" too.

Moving along quite slowly

Digging and shoring take time.

It just doesn't look like 9 months of digging to me.Let's hope they pick up the pace soon.

Agreed if the digging was taking place in some farmers field. There is shoring to consider here. And lugging the material away takes time.

 

[Ramako]

Also consider that this site is massive.

I won't let these snails off the hook that easily... Hullmark (a site of similar size and even more complexity) started at the same time and yet they have cranes in place and are forming multiple levels by now.
