The Montana's has now closed and had its signage removed. Looks like Milestones is still open presently.

Walked by the site this afternoon. The final of the four freestanding buildings to be demolished, which was the Milestones restaurant to the East side of the site, has now closed. Fixtures were also being removed and loaded into a truck.

There is nothing going on here yet. All of the restaurants have closed now, the Milestones having been the last milestone in that regard. Signs have come down, and maybe interiors are being cleared… …but that's it so far.

Both the east and west portions of the site have been fenced off with construction fencing. Two large backhoes and some other equipment are on site for demolition.

I saw the fencing on the ground when I drove by on Saturday so that must have just gone up within the last two days. I'll try and swing by soon for some aerial shots.

They are making quick work here. The building to the extreme west end of the site (former Scotiabank branch) is already 50% demolished.

It doesn't take much to knock down a few cheap big-box single-storey shacks. Good riddance finally.

Half eaten former bank. Taken yesterday.

Ironically, thanks to the destruction of a Scotiabank, soon RioCan will be richer than you think.
