Yup! They look to be on schedule. Can't wait until it's open.
The amount of "people" under that bridge lately have been a little frustrating. I had some homeless guy scream at me at the top of his lungs because I wouldn't give him money... Truly pathetic and he didn't look like he had issues either. Well dressed and clean... And the pamphlet people too.... It's getting out of control.
Rideau Street in general needs a MAJOR cleanup. If this much money went into the mall rehabilitation and the road still looks like that, its all wasted effort. All those "cheap" retailers need to go to a different area. Tims, McDonalds, little convenient store. You've got a Bank, Chapters then HBC then it goes to waste... The street has lost its charm. Can't blame people or the elderly avoiding it. City Council & The BIA need to get together with a proper long term game plan for how they want this main strip of the city to look like in the near future. The removal of the massive planters was a great start, but nothing really has happened since then.
The outside of the mall is looking good. Ogilvy's is getting a lot of progress lately too and the future Shoppers Drug Mart area seems almost complete and just waiting for them to move it. Things are moving quickly. Also the first floor or HBC's renovation is open and looks stunning. What a huge difference it makes. Once they open up the windows too, it'll look even cooler. Good job on their part.
