Don’t forget tonight’s event at the convention center. See Ken’s post below.
There is good news to report. The hole is drained and excavation work on the bus terminal has resumed. A variety of factors caused long delays in getting the pumping and filtering systems in place. The ground water is contaminated with substances in addition to those found in the first phase, the clean water standards have gotten more stringent, and very few labs in the country are equipped to perform the required testing. The delays are not expected to impact the Spring 2014 completion of the project. Here is a shot that I took on Tuesday before the snowstorm.
The walls/seats are being installed around the planters near the light rail station. Here’s another photo from Tuesday. It appears that the walls are being installed along the inside edges of the foundations to maximize clearance between the planters, as suggested in some DenverInfill comments.
Thanks Rick as always for your articles! I was wondering if you had heard anything new about the Welcome Arch and whether it is moving forward and if so, where it would be located?
Thanks!
P.
Patrick, I do not have any details about the arch. Sorry.
Thanks for keeping us posted on the station’s development. We’re looking forward to seeing its completion.
