I'm impressed by the NCC's ambition. If only the city had ideas as good as these as well.

Not sure if this is the best place to share, but the Hintonburg pumphouse ruins are now open: https://www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/former-hintonburg-pumphouse-built-in-1899-now-open-to-public/

Didn't get any photos but as of a few days ago the whole Rideau facade was covered in scaffolding, so I assume they've properly begun reconstruction.

Pardon the rain drops obscuring the view. I was surprised to see a building going up in this area until I remembered that this project existed.

Love the big bear mural

Ohhhhh it's so sleek and sexy

It would be really nice if we get new extensions opening two years in a row

Taken today on the train. It's very visible from Pimisi. ... And it looks very handsome with the light reflecting off it from this angle, along with lots of other nice buildings in the background.

Some views this morning from the train.

Taken yesterday

Seems to be all done now, it looks real nice. The sign above the entrance calls it the "Richcraft Hope Centre"

In my fantasy transit plan for Ottawa, I have the Carling streetcar line split when it reaches Bronson: it continues eastwards on Glebe Avenue, just as Glebe is already a one way street, and then it loops around on O'Connor, maybe going into the park around Patterson Creek, before going back...

Got a quick pic from the train: at least one of the towers is tall enough to see from down here. They're really gonna loom once they're done.
