as Brady73 reported, test piles are going in on block 13W! here looking east down Channel, with block 2 in the background:
here is what Fourth St looks like, looking north:
clearing and excavation seems to be wrapping up down at 2121 Third, or at least they've gotten to a fairly tidy pause:
in other random news, pile driving appears to have been completed on block 5.
to reinforce what Brady73 was saying, it is exciting to think how many projects will likely be underway in, say, March next year:
- block 2
- block 3
- block 13E
- block 13W? (plus P5 dog run?)
- block 5 (plus P6 children's park?)
- block 11
- public security building (block 8)
- UCSF hospital
- UCSF medical building (block 25W)
- P23-P24
...not to mention associated street infrastructure. here's hoping no wind goes out of the sails between now and then.
and, to celebrate that we made it through to the next Maya calendar cycle unscathed
, and can now start watching the days get longer again:
