It may not be as large as some people would like but its not bad either. Like Jared said quite a while back, its better than the parking lot it replaced. It can still look pretty imposing from the street level and if it looks anything like the renderings when finished I think it'll be pretty good when complete.
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.

LSJ article states this project is ahead of schedule...they hope to have the exterior done by winter and then start on interior work.
