I was downtown today so I decided to roll past and check this out.
The rebuilt Argyle St in this block was relatively passable even despite the trucks parked in front of Nova Centre unloading things. However the next block south on Argyle is already proving to be a disaster. Foamcore signs zip-tied to poles trying to indicate where cars are and are not allowed. The sign poles are everywhere and very close to the one narrow travel lane just waiting for a snowplow to break/bend them. Not sure how vehicles are supposed to drop people off or make deliveries. I predict this will need to be rethought soon.
The Rogers Plaza (?) section pictured above was still blocked off when I was there with a "no vehicle access" sign posted. Having a crew there digging a trench at the Sackville St end did not make it seem inviting. But the entire development is still very much a construction site and largely unfinished at street level. I could not see where the parking garage was accessed nor could I tell how to visit the BMO site. Still a long ways to go on the outdoor parts and with winter coming it will likely take a while.
