I had forgotten to post these pics from July 25 & 27th.
The paths tying in the Muttart stop area must be close to being finished, I'll bike down to see this weekend.
and the SUP leading up Connor's

The Chicken Line?I really don't know for sure but it's excellent chicken regardless, for a convenience store no less, lol.
I did a quick search and lots of positive reviews pop up. Seems to be the home made secret recipe
This CTV news clip got me clucking, too funny, it's well worth the 2 minutes @EdmTrekker.
2 Edmonton stores waging friendly family feud with secret chicken recipe
Ralph’s Handi Mart in Strathearn has everything you’d expect to find in a convenience store, and something else that has customers flocking here.beta.ctvnews.ca
Is anyone hungry now, gonna try it? Don't be a chicken?

I've clearly been spending too much time with the in-laws on the Island as I was confused why and where there would be a stand up paddleboard on Connor's hill.

In the watching grass grow news, Hollyrood station has signage up and Grey Nuns has message boards.

The downtown, Tawatina Bridge and Churchill Connector sections are moving slower than a snail on molasses. I doubt a 2021 opening will be happening with a spring 2022 opening more likely, but I'd like to be wrong.

Well it would be extremely disappointing if they didn't meet their 2020 scheduled opening...oh wait...

I would think that testing downtown would start in September once festival season wraps up. The tunnel would be tested with loaded LRT cars just like Connors road. Ditto for Davies Statiom.
I hope that the road and multi-use path construction is finished by autumn. 75 Street is progressing, but sections between Whitemud and Wagner Road need work. A reasonable completion target would be the Labour Day weekend, with people returning to school or work.

The other half of 102 Avenue (102-103 Street and further west) will probably go later this year.

i still don't understand why work is progressing so slowly? Where are the labourers?

They are all there, moving from site to site making it look like they have more than they actually have.

How many rail cars can fit on the track between what appears the end of the track and 101 Street? 2 or 3?

I managed to zip through the Muttart area yesterday evening to get a few quick shots of the progress on the stand up paddleboards. Slow and steady.

Drove by the construction, south of Davies station yesterday, for the second day in a week. The progress between Whitemud Dr and Wagner Rd is ridiculous, probably the area that is the farthest from done. From 28 av to Whitemud, the northbound lanes are more than 90% done, a slight change from last Thursday, and the southbound lanes seem to be progressing at a faster than expected, but slower than satisfactory pace. I'd wager they'll be done with that stretch, both sides, by the end of the month, maybe early into September.
Other than that, I actually drove the whole stretch from Millwoods until the Low Level Bridge and most of rhe stops seem to be progressing at a decent pace, almost all of them have complete signage and railings. From 83 St/Argyll to the end of Connor's Rd, looks like completion is close, at least and except for a few touches, like paving in some crossings, railings and ramps, and painting lines in the pavement, looks ready to use.
Biggest unfinished areas are Davies station surroundings (including the park-and-ride) and Muttart area.
I'll probably walk downtown later this week and will try to update, with pictures, on the progress, but I was there over the weekend and it looks fairly close to completion, at least from inside the car.
