BTW, does anyone else find it odd that this project doesn't have its own website, or at least have even a mention on the Michigan State Police's website? I can find absolutely nothing even mentioning it, not even on the architect or constructors websites. I know it was controversial, but jeeze.
Does anyone know that in the areas around the CSO construction like around Michigan Ave. and Grand Ave. (such as seen in some of these pictures) if the black asphalt put in between the streets and the sidewalk is temporary or permanent? Are they planning on replacing it with concrete when the construction is done? Cause I think the asphalt looks bad.
Yeah it's usually temporary. Most places where I see the asphalt, they rip it out after the construction and replace it with bricks. They did that for the rain garden project along Michigan Ave.
I was surprised to find the workers working away at the facade, today:
I really like the color and choice or brick. At least the thing isn't turning out to look cheap, which is so often the case with buildings, these days.

LSJ article states this project is ahead of schedule...they hope to have the exterior done by winter and then start on interior work.
You can see what facade work has been done
