Noticed a big drilling rig on the vacant since 2014 lot of 592 Belmont St W the other day.

Yes, I moved away from that area in 2002, but the residents were complaining about the 20 story building first proposed here 5 years earlier IIRC.

Noticed a plethora of utility spray paint markings along Queen downtown the past few days, and then today workers were removing this grassy patch [Image: RLUYitG.png]

Is this the Queen St rework? Didn't think this was supposed to be done so soon.

Might be prep work for it - less for the official contractor to do when they start.

It would be nice to see this developed, it has been empty for a long time (like many old gas station properties).
