Uptown was bustling with activity today; sorry too cold and windy to stop for photos though.
Other than that a bit of a slow "news" day so here is something a little different:
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

I have a bit of news! The Market Square overpass stairway has been removed. All that remains is the top landing in front of the door, which is currently held up by a temporary bracing member. I'll try to keep an eye on it to see if its replacement goes in soon.

Well that solves that previous discussion

A big video update, including copious drone footage.

It's interesting that there isn't even a mention of the part of ION that is already in service.

Network is pretty sharp, too, and would definitely fix the entrance to R&T, which is kind of destroyed by the massive galvanized chain-link fence which flanks the entrance. The spine bench for Grand River Hospital is my favourite, I think. Dammit, I really wish I'd gone ahead and submitted my idea for a gigantic Pandrol E-Clip sculpture at one of the platforms...

"Because Cats Can't Fly" and "Benchwork" are my favourites. "Network" I don't see lasting long because of the upkeep unless a maintenance budget for the installations has already been put in. "Arc en ciel" anyone?

King and Frederick ... too cold these days to do the longer loops. Waiting for at least the wind to die down.

When I read the report I did not pick-up on this:
Bombardier delay costs region $1.2 million http://www.therecord.com/news-story/6981...2-million/ “We will be looking to Bombardier to make us whole on this”
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

Although I fear that for most people, it would just be a variation on the noodle in Kitchener. Still, I’d like to see that. Depending how it was done, it might even be climbable by kids, like the Henry Moore at the art gallery in Toronto.

I was seriously considering it! I work with lots of fab shops and suppliers that could have helped out with the actual construction of the thing, since I wanted it to be huuuuge!

Although it's not my favourite among the proposals as a piece of public art, I do like the way the proposed "Tall Tales of Mill St" refers directly to the history of the site on which it would be located.
