When a 2022 project looks like something conceptualized in 2002, so here we are....

It's a race What will be finished first, the building or fixing the sinkhole?

How do you fix a sinkhole like that? They've patched over it a few times and it's come back.

Guessing an underground leak of somekind. Water main, sewer, just other water infiltration. Not sure what's specifically going on here. Utility markings showed up all over the road, sidewalks, and front yards a few months back, so maybe they're planning for some major dig-up.

Similar sinkhole seems to happen at Dupont and Osler every couple of years.

Don’t have any photos but there has been a lot of movement on this site this week and cranes have arrived. Looking like they might be breaking ground sooner than later

Cranes? There's significant grubbing and site prep to go in advance of any shoring...A pic would certainly be illuminating, @pand75, thanks!

By cranes, my naive mind meant excavators!

I don't think there is any shoring to speak of here, there's no underground parking.

Here's the permit status for the New Building:

No Shoring permit applied for.

Definitely activity over the last couple of weeks with moving things around, especially on the west side of the Perth Ave. stump and into the school yard. Looked like they were doing stuff with the groundwater test wells.

Some photos from yesterday (Sun Jan 22 2023):

Looking across Perth to the south-west side.

Looking across Perth to the west side.

Looking across Perth to the North-west side.

Looking north-east towards Symington and Kingsley.

South-east corner. People have definitely lived / sheltered in various parts of this property over the last few years.

Looking west. Lots of wildlife trails to sniff around.

West side of Perth, looking west. They dug a hole. Filled it.

The site west of Perth, looking south from Kingsley.

Edit: It's 2023 not 2022 anymore

Busy here over the last few weeks. They're definitely in the "clear trees" and "move piles of dirt around" phases of development.
This morning lots of vehicles, and looks like they're delivering a (small?) crane.
