on this weekend's wandering, I noticed they were working on the sidewalk on either side of the boat launch (opened 2008, and part of which can barely be seen behind the porta-potty) which is across Terry Francois Blvd from Radiance and the eastern end of the Commons. looking south:
I can't remember now what the sidewalk looked like before, not sure why it needed work... that kiosk you can see in the picture I find interesting to visit - lots of good info and maps of the past, present, and future of the area.
speaking of the east end of the Commons, here is a taste of what's to come in the new Commons parcel. this is looking west from the Commons' far east end, with the work on the next segment barely visible in the distance:
here is a shot looking north between the finished segment on the right, and the current work on the left. it seems there will likely be trees in boxes on the left side as well when they are done:
and they have been busy there as well - some of the side sidewalks have already been poured:
in case anyone was curious what's happening with the neurosciences building, there is still not much to see, but they have been hard at work these last two Saturdays (Rock Hall in the background):
also, I noticed some of what looked like the same stone used in the south entrance column had been brought to the site of the north entrance concrete column I had first seen last week, so it does indeed seem it will be something very similar.
new chain-link fencing had been put up around the pumping station in the northwest corner of Mission Bay, which may be an indication they are about ready to start the work on the connector roads from the RR crossing to the new roundabout. I am really excited to see those go in (I also welcome any opportunity I get to use the happy banana).
elsewhere...
- work continues on the ground surrounding the CVRB.
- I didn't notice much change in the Commons parcel in front of it.
- also not much change behind ex-Pfizer
