I noticed that along Yonge St down the side of Eaton's Centre, they are building a bunch of these wooden things. What the heck are they? lol

Perhaps the BIA is continuing with the installation of the new street lamps that are already in place north of Dundas. I recall a similar set-up when they were installed last fall.

The pits they've dug look really large. Much larger than you'd expect for lamp posts. Couldn't help but notice they cracked some granite slabs in the process.

Its just the light poles. The holes look the same as the ones they used on Yonge north of Dundas.
