As the weather improves, there seems to be more activity behind the barricades in the downtown development area. When talk turns to the new downtown, I've noticed an increased skepticism lately. With $400 million at stake, and a scheduled (at least partial) opening in 2009, it's nice to see some progress beyond the foundations of parking garages...by the way, the interiors of both garages are well on their way, with stairways and mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems all being installed.
This week, slabs for the residential units above retail space are being poured. These will be located along Washington and McKinley Avenues and Taaffe Street. Washington is also being made wider on the south side, in the section east of Mathilda Avenue. Concrete slabs will be poured next week for the two office buildings next to Mathilda.
And the most exciting new development of all, at least to us shoppers, the foundation excavation for retail buildings on the south side of Macy's is scheduled to begin this week!
