I wonder if they had too many issues controlling theft with a street and mall entrance.

Not 'moving', but 'expanding' into the space next. It's all done and ready to open if it's not already. It's quite a bit larger, but does retain it's original corner space.

Not sure if anyone ever posted a pic of the renovated entrance to the Canaccord Tower:

By me today.

Howe is repaved and marked and Georgia is being repaved.

I'll take a public plaza any day instead of that soulless 'Apple store' building.

Imagine a nice green space with a bunch of trees and flowers at this corner instead.

ok/ I wonder why they had to close the store to do it, udsually retailers can stay open when expanding, like Muji did in metrotown etc.

They might remodel the current store to fit into the new store layout.

Amen to that!

However, need to also consider the winter months when there won't be any flowers. An urban F&B concept, complete with green spaces for this area is way better than the "Apple Store" that's for sure.

We used to have that on the public piece of land kitty corner.

Sephora

well they are also replacing the waterproof membrane for the mall. i assume it is the original from the 1970s and is need of replacement. with or without the apple store, it would have needed to happen eventually.

its better they are doing it all in a row anyways and since traffic is still down, it isn't as bad as it could be.

They said until November but I'm not sure if the schedule was accelerated because of other work that was completed quicker due to Covid shutdown.

officedweller · #**3318** Posted **Jul 6, 2020, 2:19 AM**

Yup - The mall runs under Georgia St., so it's the roof membrane for the mall that's being replaced.

They'll need to do the south side of Georgia St. as well.
Can't recall if that was done when the Canada Line station was added or not.

They certainly don't need to block two fully-repaved lanes of Howe.

They're probably waiting for the crossing of Georgia to be clear, otherwise those Howe lanes would have to merge back together to cross Georgia (ie where the blue tarp is located).
