General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours
It's going to be a tough call - especially with the LRT decision a factor. Having less millpond to work with would make it a lot easier to fit the right of way in.

The former Geo. Pattison/Aclo Compounding building on Eagle near the CP crossing has been sold. Anyone heard any chatter about whether it's going to be staying as-is or getting a few add-ons?

From the article:
The two-storey building, the former home of department stores Briscoe's and the Right House, offers 18,000 square feet of space. Polyak says Milestone will occupy the second floor and possibly part of the first, with the rest of the ground floor available for retail tenants.

I love the use of CORTEN (I think?) steel on that bridge. The circle in the middle is a bit wtf though.

Picking nits, but I expect better from the CBC.

They will have smart streetlights that will give compliments to the core area? Or do they actually mean that the streetlights will complement the core area?
