CBC building is gone, new parking garage will be the first thing built. New power plant will be going up next to the new parking garage and the old one will be torn down.
Old Parking garage will then come down and a new building going up in it's place. Existing emergency department will stay as is. You can see a road going around the new building to the existing emergency dept.

I'm not aware of any announcement that the Summer Street parkade has been scrapped. Lindsay won the tender to construct it last July and the revised plan was presented to (and rubber stamped by) Halifax council last September. John O'Connor of Nova Scotia Lands said
footings could go in as early as November. I haven't been on Summer Street since then so I don't know if there's evidence of any work.
The province has always said there would be
two parking structures. The Summer Street parkade, with some 500 spaces, needs to be built before the existing garage comes down and construction begins on the Infirmary site. The larger facility, on the old CBC site, was to be about twice that size.
