The work to replace all the hand laid pavers between Yonge & Bay should be done just in time......for them to rip it all up again to build the next condo.
Which is the white building on left - it is slated to become a charming, 66 storey behemoth. (I think anything under 70 stories is now called a boutique condo.)
Any bets on whether (or when) these get all pulled up again?
Of course, as I mentioned, the supervisor told me that, don't worry, the contractor will be paying for this extra work.
Oh he'll be paying for it....by over billing the city on all his other projects. [Ed. note: he's just kidding, in the remote chance that someone actually reads this stuff.]
And if you think any city employee pays attention to the cost of these projects.... well...... Google "Sony Centre Cost Overruns" to see the most recent example.
Okay, I did it for you; an article from the National Post and even a scathing one from the Toronto Star. When The Toronto Star starts slagging city bureaucrats, you know it's bad.
When you have digested that, Google "PanAm2015 Cost Overruns". The fun here has only just begin.......
