Progress, progress everywhere

Well, the work on the new 4th Ave underpass is coming along well! Lots of utility re-positioning is taking place these days, with Toole Ave and Congress St completely torn up. I've gained a new appreciation for the underpass and the ease with which it gets me to and from the office on my bike or by foot, since I've had to find a new route. The new route takes me a couple blocks west, to the 6th Ave underpass, which is not bad at all and only adds a couple of extra minutes to my daily bike ride. Today, I got to see the design specs for the planned new underpass and they look great - very modern while at the same time quite respectful of the historic nature of the underpass being replaced.
