I wasnt referring to the infrastructure of walkability or anything like that. I was just talking about how everyone uses the Underground. Imagine how, if and when, streetcars will change all that.

[Just the facts]

Are there any "traffic counts" in the underground? I wonder how many people are using it ever day vs how many are on the sidewalk.

I suspect that could vary greatly depending on the weather conditions.

When I worked in CityPlace (1993) I parked in the Santa Fe garage and never used the Conncourse, in fact the only time that I ever did go down there was to eat at Ricoletto's and I walked on the street to Leadership to go down there.

Does anyone know if Devon will shoot off fireworks after completion on grand opening day for the ribbon cutting party? Do they have the space on the roof for that?

No, they are going to revert to an old construction tradition of firing cannons at the top of the building upon completion. Like our forefathers did when they built a fort, to show off their strength and prowess.

It will be strange seeing the tower without the cranes. I think of them as training wheels will be weird standing by itself!

Was killing time and did some video downtown. Got cold and overcast and didn't do much. My "not much" is still probably 20 min worth. Also pictures. Didn't get to any video editing of Saturday night.

Thanks for the pictures and the task of doing that out in the cold.

I drove by on Hudson (is that the one leading up to the building?) or I got redirected to Walker? I dunno, I drove by the auditorium and the gardens.

Wow!!!! O_o

Look at I-40 in that photo and notice that the westbound traffic appears to be in gridlock.

[catch22]

Yes it was, I was in it after taking my drive eastbound on the new crosstown. It was due to I-44 and the congestion that piles up to that junction.

O....M....G.!!!! That is....snap, crackle, pop.

Thanks a million Will! Man, ground level is coming along fast, especially the park. Those cranes have to start coming down soon I would think.

Love the detail of the bright red staircase through the clear glass of the auditorium. I bet this will look super sharp at night.

And the second perspective really shows all the major elements of the complex in harmony.

[Rover]

This is a magnificent project. We may lack a volume of structures downtown, but we will have one of the BEST in the country.

[Pete]

This will only get better as we near completion and more and more of the details become evident.

It's clear they've put a lot of time, effort and money into the smaller things. Really looking forward to seeing the inside of the rotunda, the first couple of floors of the garden wing, the tower-top restaurant, the park, the auditorium and all the improvements in and around the Colcord.

That's an interesting perspective about 9 minutes which appears to show a plane getting ready to fly into the building.
