Complete guess but the latter point sounds like the construction around the new incubator is going to encroach on the new MUT. Itching to have it done as well but if it saves the newly paved infra from getting busted up by construction I think its liveable. Not sure why Stewart St. couldn't get done in the mean time though...
The UW project is more understandable than the utility relocation. I assume Dan means the incubator developer is only responsible for paving the trail, and not also somehow dealing with Bell and Hydro lines, which presumably have to get out of the developer's way regardless.
I guess once the Google section is open it should be ok. Joseph and Stewart are low traffic enough for me to bike on the street for now. It would just be nice to be able to cross Victoria St without dismounting.
