I imagine they can't get much work done in the mud. Do they wait for it to dry up?

I wonder a lot about this as well, especially with the lack of shoring on this site. I can't help but think of Infiniti Condos on 105 Ave, where the side of the hole slowly gave way during construction and ended up ruining one of the parkade walls while being poured. they must have some plan to prevent slumping of waterlogged soil.

@cliffapotamus I think this development has more than enough room to work with without worrying about slumping. Shoring isn't required if you have space to angle the walls like they have here.

As to the water, I imagine a vac truck would be brought in if it impeded construction.
I should have added that to my post. They have fire hoses going up the banks on the south and east walls that connect to PVC and then flow into city drainage sewers.

So it looks like they did get a little bit of work done last week. Not much, but a bit.

Oops, looks like they did have a bit of a slump there.

Regency is going for some amendments to the DC2 and I am NOT happy.
More later.

So since this information is going to be coming out to the public pretty soon, Regency is looking to increase the unit count from 1200 to 1650, or a 37.5% increase.
They have a bunch of other changes, most of which seem to just bring the DC2 in line with recent zoning bylaw changes, including the open option parking changes. Our committee is still looking into all of what's proposed, but the biggest issue is of course the increased unit count.
After everything we went through to get this approved at 1200 - a number that already seemed high but decided was reasonable after a lot of changes - I'm absolutely pissed right now that we're about to be dragged through this process all over again.

But it’s on the doorstep of an LRT station. Isn’t this where you want lots of density?
