Perhaps not. But think about pretty much any high-rise construction site you've ever seen - the usual thing is to surround it with opaque fencing from lot line to lot line and sidewalk to sidewalk and dig everything up. I have to wonder if even these new sidewalks will escape removal once things get going, depending on the design.

Since I have avoided the area entirely ever since all this began I am in the dark about most of it, but a lot of it still looks like a mess. The aerial picture above shows a dirt path in front of Spice condos at the corner of Cornwallis Nora Bernard extending all the way south past the Trade Mart before colliding with Scotia Square. Surely that cannot be the long-term plan? How is the division of southbound traffic between Hollis and Barrington handled?
