There has been no update for a long time. So I decided to travel and take some pictures yesterday.

I was suprised to see a lot of action! Firstly, the main UBCO site is getting piling done in fully dry concrete underdround parkade. Secondly, interesting enough, they demolished the School District 23 building and crew is actively working on cleaning the site. So I will speculate, maybe they are preparing that site for the extra parking they need after shortening the underground parkade?

Long time without photos of the hole, here it is. It seems like they almost filling it in, not sure.

No news on the plans after pausing the digging, even when promissed in "upcoming weeks".
Only rumors on internet that parkade being cut from planned 4.5 storeys to 2.5, but no official information.

Not much of an update here. It’s been scheduled that the digging will continue until the end of 2023. So as expected.
