a few shots from the weekend...
this is looking north from block 5, across Long Bridge St to block 13 and its new piles in the background:
and I guess now that Madrone has people moving in, we can declare that one done - so a couple of parting shots of it as it recedes from interest... the west side is not its most flattering angle:
but from the east... behold!
a couple pics of the hospital... south side along Mariposa:
and the west side as seen from Mariposa (man, I hope getting rid of the telephone poles is part of the plan):
the public safety building as seen from the south... looks like they have wrapped up with the piles, which I'm sure the new Madronauts are pleased about, whether they know it or not.
the Saitowitz project on 20th has a carpet of rebar at about street level now:
I mentioned in a recent post that parcel P23 (on the bayfront side of the Fibrogen building) looked like it had been cleared (maybe 'tidied' is a better word, since it was already pretty clear)... don't know if that is prep for something, or just maintenance, but this is what it looks like at the moment (hey, more ugly telephone poles!):
and what the heck, it had been a while since I went over there, so I wandered up to the fenced end of Owens to look into the Forbidden Land of the Roundabout. signs had perched, roosted, and otherwise taken up residence since my last visit:
I'm curious how much the feel of Mission Creek will change once the wall of development is in place across the park...
