Great shots. The failure to bring that brick column down to grade is a hilarious design oversight that I will shake my head about for years to come. It's such a no-brainer that I have to assume it was an error that nobody caught, as opposed to an intentional design choice. Innsertnamehere, I...

Now that they have opened the east side of the bollards (adjacent to the Union Station sign), I expect that they will now block off the west side and complete the installation of the bollards to the retaining wall. They couldn't have blocked off everything to do it all at once (though with the...

Good news, gang! They’ve installed bollards at Front and York. I think our long national nightmare of ugly concrete blocks may be coming to an end.
