Late January they actually opened up the plaza when shooting the film "Batwoman" (I think). Had a chance to venture onto the south plaza for a bit. It looked really good as the film crew lit up the columns at the grand stairway to the Art Gallery building for the filming. I wish CoV can do something like that, which I doubt.

Jollyburger observes that the site is often empty, so maybe the contractor is relying on subcontractors, or can't get specialist workers? No doubt Covid is partly an explanation, but that doesn't seem to slowing City crews on the Richards bikeway construction now - although I think it did at the start of the pandemic while new protocols were worked out.

Everyone knows this is taking forever. Relying on subs or not, this is still awfully bad. Another lousy reno was the replacement of those escalators at Granville Station. That took a century to complete, and, except for the newer escalators, everything was still in pretty bad shape. I could even see Expo-86 era dirt trapped at the crevices of the perforated ceiling covers. Says a lot about how things are done here. Blame should go to the project managers and other overseers.

Regarding the lighting of this space, are the lights on the tall black lamposts (upper centre in pic) used only for ceremonial / special events purposes, or are they switched on every night?
