I just noticed we can see part of the garage in the Park Tower webcam, so we might get to see the demolition before 100 Folsom grows up and blocks the view

here is a hopefully final view of the garage

you can see from the webcam that demo's now underway

chipping away at it

They were tearing it down today. I don't think this structure will exist in two weeks.

two weeks later...

The people at 201 Spear finally get a view ... for a very short while.

just dirt

Interesting project.....it's good to see it replace a parking alley.

official groundbreaking was this week:

still no permanent elements on site, and no excavation.

now we're underway!

Normally I think such comments are silly and pointless here, but in this case I really do wish it would (and think it should) be taller. This is a high rise neighborhood. Not only would the design look better, it's appropriate.

tell that to supervisor kim and the neighbors.

Thankfully she is no longer my supervisor and, like all of them, probably doesn't even read (or ask her staff to read) correspondence from outside her district.

not too much outward change in the month since the last pic (although - ¡mira! - 100 Folsom is visible now)

I thought maybe we'd see excavation by now, but still looks quiet on the surface

we can see the base of the crane now
