A closer look at some of the pieces of the stairs and side sections on Robson. I presume they'll put it all back together again without losing track of what went where.

Maybe just patching and repairing? Perhaps the pieces of wood are on places where there's been a repair. I'll keep an eye on it.

Work has started in earnest on the north plaza. Looks like the fountain sculpture is ready to be lifted and hauled away.

Weep not, children. The sculpture, as I understand, will be re-installed elsewhere.

Pics by me today:

The dark area looks like a passage to mechanical/utility rooms under the fountain?



Corner magnolia tree is still there - so far...

Isn't there an underground storage area of non-displayed art pieces under the plaza?

There is, but I'd expect that would be accessed from under the Art Gallery (from the south).

I think this one is accessed from behind the pole (which used to be the middle of a planter bed):

The VAG underground access was the other concrete block facing TD Tower. It will be renovated when the new plaza is finished.
