A crane for Oak & Olive is coming down today.

Crane related news and one very long rappel

Glad the rescue went smoothly - gotta give props to these fire fighters.
I wonder what construction site it was?

This is where the count now sits at. I think Dawson Landing Age Care might not have a crane anymore, but can't find anything on it, so I'm going to leave it for a few more months.

Arts Commons expansion iirc

 

[Surrealplaces]

Crane bases at Lincoln and Gryphon. The count is about to go back up.

 

[Golfing guy]

Lots of smaller projects with cranes. Might hit 40???

 

[Shaka]

There's a baby crane at Monty 44, not sure if you include them in your count.

 

[Surrealplaces]

IIRC, the consensus was if the crane was mounted in concrete it would be considered part of the crane count, even though this functions much the same as a standard tower crane.

 

[Col du Edworthy]

Metal bird count up to 5 now from office window (bonus update of Sovereign and the tiny corner of Yellowstone)

 

[KrisYYC]

New crane going up on Heritage and Haddon Rd. SW. I can't remember which project this is for.

 

[MichaelS]

Likely Boro Block.

Gryphon's is up. I'll get a photo at some point.
