Public art is only entertaining when they disclose the budget of said project.

I'll bet that the noon hour horns or the 9:00 o'clcok gun weren't "designed".

Yeah when I walked by earlier this week it almost looked completed. Looks like they power washed it.

Yeah I think they'll need more than metal pegs on the sides of the benches to deal with those guys.

I still wonder if there was a miss in not putting in a bus mall through Robson Square to allow the 5 to continue down Robson to Granville.

CoV made a point of not wanting that.

Interesting the skate kids are wearing big jeans again like the 90s.
Everything comes back every 20 years it seems.

You might think that, but I do remember seeing some hipster a short while ago wearing capris, and I thought "ok gosh, don't even go there...".

But the cuffs can stay bone dry!

I noticed they were installing litter bins last week. Reports are that the south plaza is now open.

officedweller · #**1898** Posted **Mar 29, 2021, 11:40 PM**

Yes it is!
I can see people walking and biking across it now.

mcminsen · #**1899** Posted **Mar 30, 2021, 4:31 AM**

Hallelujah! I was just there on Saturday looking through the fence and thinking... maybe this summer?

Great timing with the coming season!

Did they not have lions on the podium of the south side as well?
