There IS WORK currently happening on the site, but I am not sure if that is just remediation work or if it is actually the start of construction.

Random question. Does anyone know what's going on in the parking lot across the street from the old/current downtown library? It's full of construction trailers, etc.

Staging area for the BHP office fit-up in River Quarry.

I was on the Sundance Hot Air Balloon this week.
Great experience to see the city.

It hits a lot different seeing from the sky just how much land the U of S has in the middle of the city for agriculture research...also the rushhour traffic down College.

Well, it's been years I've been on this site and I still can't figure out how to post an image or why it's so complicated...

Anyway here's the Imgur link to a couple of the photos:

I agree that posting photos needs to be simpler. I would definitely add more to the conversation..

Just click on the image icon above and paste the image link (not the page link) into the box that pops up. Unfortunately in this case it was extra large.

Link BRT update (I signed up for a city newsletter with project updates)

The first hard infrastructure is complete... WB platform at 8th and Arlington. Shelter and wayfinding to be installed closer to service launch.

From the newsletter:

"It is anticipated that construction of the Link system, starting with 14 platforms being completed this year, will continue through 2027 with an anticipated service launch date in 2028."

Located just blocks from the University of Saskatchewan, these units provide convenient, budget-friendly options for students and those seeking affordable living.”
