General Construction Updates

Lol yes I know who you are

Yes it would be nice, and to an extent they likely will, as with all other cliff-side paths. Here's hoping the stairs don't fuck it up.

Agreed. Hopefully the forest will not get destroyed (anymore than it maybe already is)

Nice! I hope they still intend to paint the under side of the 4th ave bridge like in the renderings. Looks so dirty and stained! A cool little park that takes advantage of land that was basically useless and sitting empty.

The new park looks very promising. Here are a few more pics, almost the same as UW's but might as well post them.

When does Humpy Park get its reno?

Forgot they were doing something there, was surprised to see the playground ripped out this morning.

UW, were you roaming Bridgeland all night?

No just til like 4 that day. We made it home just after sunrise and it's about a half hour walk.

Renovations at Sunlife Plaza (not sure if the the tenant lounge is new in the last photo):

I agree, praise block would be great for the area. Theres a lot of modern/ultra-modern buildings and houses going up in the area so this would fit right in. I especially like the large tall windows at street level.

Prairie Block is a nice little proposal. It'd be nice to see a collection of small individual buildings similar to Prairie Block go up on some other blocks along 33rd

New signage on site with a new rendering. I prefer the original rendering but would be happy to see this move forward. Signage on site references fall 2021. I assume that’s construction start date...

Ground level of the new design is better, overall design is marginally worse but not all that different. Overall it's a good change. Hope it goes ahead.

Sorry this isn't a construction update, but given that I have posted extensively about Elbow Island Park construction and a bit of discussion about the hopeful/future revitalization of Mission Bridge recently, this is apt.


Why in the absolute f*%#*ck would they replace the beautiful stone railings with those hideous green ones? Good god the 70s were terrible.

This photo is from a flood in 1923. I never realized the bridge used to be such a beautiful example of Art Moderne. What a loss
