Jef, any idea why the Wickenden Street demolition is taking so much longer than even the revised estimate? The anticipation is killing me, and the thought of the rest of the demolition taking a similarly long time is disheartening.

I’ve heard several reasons for delays at Wickenden.
Weather
Sorting of materials for recycling taking longer than expected
Needing to restrict hours due to proximity of residences
Needing to keep traffic flowing on Wickenden
The Wickenden work is a separate bid from the rest, so the company doing this may not be thr company working on the rest.

Had no idea about the separate bid — that’s reassuring. Thanks, Jef.
