rechlin Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It's not like they aren't working. All day long they have vehicles driving around and doing things, and a fairly steady line of concrete trucks have been going to the site. I know it doesn't look like they are making a lot of progress, but they are certainly active. I guess what they are doing is just not very visible. Does anyone know what those three things that look like drilling rigs are doing? They've been there for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Work in front of GRB is definitely underway. Avenue of the Americas is closed down and getting ripped up. This will be an interesting one to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah that's been ongoing for a little while now. They are lowering the ground floor and opening the entrance way a bit higher for buses on the south side (there is a bus station/terminal/pick up drop off thing in the new garage on the north side too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah that's been ongoing for a little while now. They are lowering the ground floor and opening the entrance way a bit higher for buses on the south side (there is a bus station/terminal/pick up drop off thing in the new garage on the north side too)Correct. This is central to the plan to change the configuration of ADLA. There will be no room for bus drop offs on the street. But, they still need bus drop off locations for conventioneers. Modifications to the South garage were needed for buses and the plans for the north garage already encompass the needed bus infrastructure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
