Bohland is finished, (curb and paved) up to Woodlawn from Mississippi Boulevard. Woodlawn, Mount Curve, and Cretin are all ready for curb and paving this spring.

Starts next month, I am being told.

Demo could mean anything coming from the office. I’m not sure if they meant East Hennepin, not Hennepin. 420 is the address. Glam Doll donuts may want to gear up, if it’s East Hennepin.

What is going on 1 block south of 240/Gateway on Hennepin? I got told to gear up for a partial demo, drill and set retention, and a bunch of foundation shotcrete work.

Essentially the demolition contractors jacked up their prices following the riots, so the city stepped in to help coordinate relief.

Being that I work for one, I can attest to that being untrue. We were already losing work due to the pandemic and the shutdown.

March 1st is the target date to start housing renters.

I’m hoping Minnesota can go the whole year without making the national news.

Worked across the street from this today. Not much going on with this one.

Replacing the sidewalk on the 1st side this week.
They are hoping to open to partial occupancy soon.

The new fence will be 10’ tall, and similar to the one at Azine/2nd where the armored trucks enter.
The base of each post will be a minimum of 2’ into the bedrock; i.e., don’t run into it.

Soil conditions means removing contaminated soil, removing soil that is insufficient for bearing the load that will be placed upon it, or adding a mechanical solution to amend the soil. (Piling, grout columns, soil nails, etc)

We should finish sub level footings and pads by mid week for the new Lunds.
Precast and starting on the bridges on the central water feature 3-4 weeks out.

Who’s celebrating tonight with a sit down meal?

As pointed out by uptownbro, both sides have issues with how he handled the riots. The rocks and cows certainly have not warmed up to him.
I think Kendall Qualls could win vs Gov. Walz.

The first footings for that building were poured on Thursday. Two weeks to get it completely excavated.

No matter the outcome, I’m putting the over/under on lawsuits by Friday at 25.

Has anyone close to the site been bothered by the blasting? The ‘rock trencher’ was ineffective at carving out the utility trenches. (too wet) There is no way to stay on schedule using excavator mounted hydraulic breakers, so we switched over to blasting last week.

Just a reminder, even Gilligan was smart enough to listen to the Professor, not the millionaire or his wife.

I hope you are distanced/shielded from that, we have to drive 3,051 piling there.

Do you happen to have an update on which pile they're on? It's starting to drive me craaayyzee! lol

33% complete.

I’ll ask tomorrow and tell them to step it up.
