So final pavement is in at Mill and Ottawa, and the lanes and crosswalks are painted. But...
They seem to have disregarded the (rather lengthy!) portion of curb cut (with tactile plates!) placed along Mill, and simply connected the crosswalk to the corner cut instead. This does bring the stop line much further forward; I don't know much about turn radii and those dynamics, but I presume this is for ease of vehicle movement.
It's a bit surprising that this wasn't realized until after the concrete work was done, though.
