General Construction Updates

Looks like they’re about to start construction on the new EV washrooms.

Elizabeth Square update. This is shaping up to be a great addition to the community. Apparently an Italian restaurant and coffee shop is coming to the main level so RIP to my wallet.

Would love for LDG to snap up the empty corner lot in the second photo but I think their specialty is repurposing existing buildings.

Down the street, Marda Loop Brewing has to close their patio until late June to accommodate the main streets project. Understand it but that's a bummer...

My dream for that lot is the City (or some nice philanthropist) buys it and repurposes it as a plaza/park space. I thought with all the pizza places/coffee shops/breweries (the City allows public drinking in this park/plaza in my dream) it would be nice to have a gathering space, especially with the Loop within the Loop festival street right there.

Also in my dream scenario, they errect a Christmas tree in the plaza/park every winter and the neighbourhood hosts an annual Christmas market called “Miracle on 34th Ave”.
