Urban Ponding.

RIP Slabs of concrete.  We hardly knew you.  We knew too much about you.

that picture make the lots look bigger...

Drove past this today. All of the trees and buildings are down. 

[dcluley98]

The Green house on the NE corner of the lot is still there. I think they may use it as a temporary construction office for a while as the site work and underground is being done. They had 6 ft pipes there today for underground storm drainage.

I wonder if that house would be worth moving?

No more hydroponic tomatoes for us.

[HankStrong]

That was my favorite part of Epcot as a kid.  I really wanted hydroponic tomatoes at our house, just to live in the future and stuff.

Well I guess that answers that question.

They are really moving quickly on the demo. The big corrugated pipes are there stacked onsite for underground water retention system. Should see a big hole in the ground soon to put these in. 

[dcluley98]

Updated site photo. The site is fully cleared and you can see the large piping system I was referring to, which I believe is pre-fabbed for the underground stormwater retention system that will be going in since they are building over all the permeable ground. They started an excavation where the garage will likely be located so vaults and stormwater retention may be going there under the garage. @codypet  our local civil forum member may be able to explain this better.

I was attempting to take a good construction picture with dirt and things on the ground. 

But I happened to catch an advantageous circumstance of a good day to reflect the clouds onto the building facade materials across the street, and great weather. 

Imagine how good this area will look with the new building and courtyard of Radius and the new hotel across the street, AND a protected, covered bike lane along the way, AND the maybe new buildings on Orange and Livingston (Zoi House and X-Orlando), AND Creative Village adding creative young people to the mix. 

AND a Downton Art Museum next to Bob Carr, and connected to the CV and Under-I, AND Vertical Medical City and a Monorail connecting DownTown, SunRail, I-Drive and the Executive and International Airports. . . 

Okay, Sorry, I got ahead of myself on that last paragraph. . .

@dcluley98 I'll have to look at the plans, but it would probably make the most sense to put the exfiltration trench/vault for stormwater under the plaza.  That way they can get easy access/maintenance if they were to get clogged or crushed.

Edit:  Yep, that's what it appears to be.

Can we add to our wish list a pedestrian mall on Magnolia ala Lincoln Rd?

[dcluley98]

Thank you, @codypet !

I will continue taking pictures of the progress as I can. 

NO wishes granted. 

We are carbon-based sapiens here, not robots or genies.

This is NOT dcluley!

[dcluley98]

Frisky, are we? 

There are infinite things which are not "dcluley" maybe. . .

A caisson drilling rig is now on site.
