Any chance of an update pic?

Yeah c'mon Grump....there is still snow on the ground in that pic. It is almost May, there hasn't been snow here in what.....2 days?

Grump! Grump! Grump! Grump! Grump!

I wonder if Grump is doing WAH and isn't in the office to take pictures.

Life needs to continue, even in Covid lock-down. Aren't site pictures an essential service?

Got so bored the other day I drove by for fun. Looks like the slab is fully poured and set. Wont be long before we start seeing some above grade work

Ok, that got a chuckle!

It's been pretty quiet on the site.
The last work was near the ramp last week. Haven't seen a body since then.

Attaboy Grump, coming through in the clutch... even a global pandemic can't stop you

Yeesh. A cast-in-place concrete structure under construction in Winnipeg's climate.

These guys should be making hay right now.

Anyone know if there are any plans to redo Carlton when all of this is said and done? It's looking rather rough...

It's horrendous... I would think there must be plans to improve it once construction is complete. It would be embarrassing to have TNS with nice new buildings on both sides of the street straddling a totally decrepit, rutted road.

Winnipeg Grump · #**6852** Posted **Apr 24, 2020, 5:59 PM**

By the way, there's work going on at the ground floor, SW corner of TNS 2.
Don't know what's slated for that spot, but you can see interior walls going up.

Can verify...

Hard part is, you've got another 2 years (?) for the Sutton project and then the Wawanesa build so when do you get a chance to rebuild it?

esquire · #**6854** Posted **Apr 24, 2020, 7:30 PM**

You can't, really... not until construction is done. But some patchwork would go a long way for the time being.

ywgwalk · #**6855** Posted **Apr 24, 2020, 9:26 PM**

I'm hoping for bike lanes and an extremely pedestrianized section where it meets with the plaza, whenever it does come time to redo that Carlton block.

That's about how long it takes us to design/approve/fund/build anything anyways!!

^ You're not wrong

The NW corner facing Graham & Carlton is going to be a cafe. Unit facing plaza is ACU.

I have driven past this site a couple of times in the last week in the middle of the day and the gates have been closed and locked without a soul in site. This is pretty shocking considering most other construction jobs I have been watching are still progressing normally.

Guess Chipper isn’t selling a lot of used cars lately!
