George Hislop Park, Norman Jewison Park and Alexander Street Parkette

[TossYourJacket]

So it seems like they've finished redoing the roof of the parking structure under the Alexander St Parkette (it's been covered in gravel for a few weeks now), so now we just wait and see when the City actually starts to rebuild the park.

Alexander Street Parkette has been mostly dug up (although the benches at the entrance are still there), mostly it seems to expose the parking structure underneath. Not sure if they're doing repairs to that before the park gets rebuilt, but it would make sense.

The target for the more northerly parks as of spring, was Spring '24

Alexander did not have a target at the time. (I imagine they didn't know the extent of the required work on the garage and so didn't know when restoration could start)

Yeah, this is taking far too long, it is scheduled that way.......for reasons that defy logical explanation. Supposed to be done in a few months, last I checked...........wouldn't expect much new work before April.
