Have we seen this render of the black version? From the CE district link in that news article, looks like they've updated the old one for the new design.
It was completely stalled for a few weeks I think, I walk by here often during the day and there were never workers on site. Some time last week I started seeing a team here again so hopefully it will pick up a bit.
Didn't get a picture since I was driving by but this site is now finally fenced in and the equipment has moved from where it's been sitting for the last few weeks, some activity maybe indicating they're about to start.

I had thought the balcony overlooking the plaza was an extension of the upper concourse and not...
The date for opening the 17th Ave extension into Stampede Park looks to be set for October 12.
