Sheet piling continues on the site. Hoping it’s done soon - as mentioned in this article it’s definitely giving all of the resident around here the shakes equivalent to a 3.5 magnitude quake occurring mon-friday. This article also states that the parkade is 4 levels of underground parking. Still happy for new residents, although Park Avenue’s tenants next to this project have definitely lost a lot of value on their condos
. Feel for them guys - this is a monster project and not a nimby issue when they’re complaining - it’s legitimate earthquakes all day mom-fri that started 6 weeks ago . It truely is making an unfun summer here in the densest population block of Saskatoon. It will be over soon though and we’ll have a very dense area of Saskatoon to enjoy with new residents - and a new Subway!
Just as another note - the Starbucks / Prairie Donair on 25th and 2nd is nearing completion! I’m so excited for this extra animation on this street. It desperately needs it because drifters have been taking over 7/11 and Circle K on that block - driving by yesterday they were stopping traffic.The lighthouse is correct in this article - there are a lot of new people from out of town drifting around lately

Rico you can see the pylons in the bottom left where fifth ave is caving in. I think long term sheet piling stabilized the ground more? I’m hoping that’s the case as 5th Ave N and 4th Ave N could be voted worst roads in Saskatoon right now !

Lastly - as I write this right after taking this picture, someone is screaming blood curdling screams. If you run into your local councillor or mayor on the streets prior to this election, PLEASE press them on some residents that use social services in our downtown very much need more support. Donate more to United Way for the sake of our downtown!
