God, I hate AI. I know I used it to make that fancy apartment building in the City Centre mall thread, but...

While I find this amusing, I don't blame AI. It is still up to people to provide the proper parameters and review what AI does, which may not have been done here.

There was funding in the Budget for more work.

Is that new funding, or funding carried over from last budget?

Probably carry over. But it looks like a commitment.

Now I don't know if this will happen but I really do hope that they can move the construction fence either completely or at least closer to the building so that there can be a sidewalk again next to this expansion

Appears the Council report for funding is finally going today.

• The Francis Winspear Centre for Music (FWCM) has requested an additional $33.4 million as a contribution to the construction to complete the interior fit-out of the expansion project.
• The Capital City Downtown CRL reserve has a $20.9 million deficit; therefore, this request will further decrease the balance of the reserve. As a result, this grant would require the use of the City’s working capital.
• The Francis Winspear Centre has indicated that the requested $33.4 million is not enough to complete the project as currently planned. There is a $6 to $7.5 million budgeted shortfall in funding that has arisen since the project was included in the CRL extension.

Where. Is. The. Cost. Control.

Well when things drag on and on forever, they don't generally get cheaper

Here's the back view, since people don't post this one as much.

to much grey, The Energy centre could at least have some colour.

Finally! So hopefully now they can finish it off soon.
