But have you been in those meetings?
“Shouldn’t we be improving the most used section first?”
“How do you think we’d be able to do that with all the people in the way?”
“Good point, let’s end the meeting there.”

Soil testing is my guess.

Noticed new signs for +15, and they also have added more sign directing street level exits. Things getting more blue…

I'm thinking this may be utility work actually, they have the bike lane and a lane of 12th closed this morning and are digging up the road.

Don't know if it was mentioned here yet, but about half of the Eau Claire Market site is going to be a temporary gravel parking lot. Ugh.
"Temporary"
It will be bookended by the gravel parking on the edge of Century Gardens on the West side. Though that at least is much smaller.

At least the gravel lot is only marginally worse than the mall that was there previously.

I hope they don't stop there - there are all sorts of buildings along the river pathway they could rip down to put "temporary" gravel parking lots on. The first two or three blocks towards the river should be gravel parking lots with no landscaping or temporary sidewalks.
This should make for a lovely place for people to do drugs in and check door handles. This is completely acceptable - and the downtown strategy team is crushing it.

How many years is temporary in the view of the City and/or developer? How many temporary parking lots are there in the downtown core and how many years have they been such?

Such a joke. Everyone knows damn well nothing will be built there for at least a decade based on all the other proposals that are out there. The mall and condos were 100x better than this. The poor people who got evicted from their nice little riverside condos must be furious. Lose their house for a parking lot…..

Would be a great spot for a market.
