Are they allowed to pump this water out to the creek nearby?

They put mounds of dirt on top of where the creek crosses the site underground. I doubt that they would be allowed to run a hose across the tracks.

Saw they now have a pile driver on site.

Active pile-driving along Palmer Ave.

There is a lot of activity going on here now. A lot of equipment.t and workers on site. Shoring has made a lot of progress and the site seems to be mostly included with hoarding now

Miracle...the site is being worked on! Now just 4 to 5 years before first residents move in.

I'm hoping it'll still be buildings A/B/C (I think all are 8F mid-rise residential) that are going up first. That would address the vacant lot view from Courtland Ave--and an 8F building will go up substantially faster than the high-rise towers that will be built closer to the railroad tracks.

The only permits Auburn has applied for are for the 3 midrises along Courtland, so it'll be building A/B/C going up first, then the plan is to go over to Stirling and work across the back to Borden, then do the other two midrises near Stirling.

When I last looked at the permits they didn't even have the shoring permit issued but they were working on the shoring, they also have the foundation and balance of construction for buildings A/B/C applied for.

Auburn should also be getting a site servicing permit to put the new road network in, this one isn't even applied for yet.
