It was from a distance so I may have missed it, who knows. Good to see it paved regardless, I'm guessing it'll reopen in the next few days.

Doesn't have the dotted lines on it yet, so yeah probably a day or so from opening.

Also are there no street lights being installed on the cobalt side?

Seems to be bases for them in some spots, though obviously not installed.

Would prefer to see lights integrated into these newer developments instead of filling the sidewalk with more stuff.

George St between Bay and Caroline never had the light posts installed weirdly enough, and it's been fine with the light from the building for the last like 4 years.

I find this development rather odd because unlike all the buildings around it there is no "uplighting" on the podium which makes those balconies feel very dark at night. So I echo your sentiment - I wish they had integrated lights into the podium of this development, imo it's actually quite strange that they didn't..

And yeah I thought that's what I saw in the sidewalk were the spots where the streetlights would be... just making sure.. that should help brighten up that side at least.

If Hamilton manages to restore all of its remaining heritage stock as well as this project, then it will actually have a very nice downtown.

yeah.. which involves preserving all the ones they wanna tear down.. *side eyes gore park*

It's nice to be able to look at pics of the downtown in the 1800s when it was first built to now and see the similarities still. I don't want us to ever lose that. Gore park WAS hamilton - that's where it started - and radiated out from there.

Also does that "art piece" swivel? Cuz if not I get the feeling something similar is gonna happen to it that happened to the old swing lift bridge that existed before our CURRENT lift bridge..

Man how did the brick on kreskys get THAT dirty I wonder?

But yeah, it was probably for the best it came down, it started to reflect a feeling of.. poverty..

I'm glad that horrible green building is gone beside the embassy.. it's honestly the only reason I accept that glass monolith in that spot - if the stone structure before it had been torn down for that glass structure I would have been LIVID - but the green one happened before I was even aware of such things.. so meh.

I do love how you perfectly framed the art deco go station down the street though.
