Atleast I hope so, seeing a crane is a good sign for a project.

Correct, it was reported in the Calgary Crane thread that there is indeed a base in that corner now.

Once the crane gets in there, we should see alot of action.

Isn't the height now officially 213m?

If it is maybe one of the admins could change the title of the thread. Not sure if that was rumor or what in the DP.

Calalb · #**144** Posted **May 20, 2008, 6:58 AM**

^ The latest height given is 212.3m. No new updates on that front since mid March.

Ok, I was wondering where I got the 3 from. Ha

Anyways was just wondering if that was a DP height or just a number given an article.

According to the city news releases from Friday, there's a road closure starting tonight through tomorrow for erection of a crane.

Progress hasn't been bad, when you consider that ground was broken in December.

There was a story in the Sun about this yesterday but I prefer the stories to be short and accurate (ie. never trust the media on their numbers).
