Update #2: The crane dismantling will take place as scheduled this weekend. Plan accordingly

Update: According to the construction team safety manager, there is a possibility the street will not be closed if winds are too high to remove the crane. They will know by this afternoon and we will update the post accordingly. If the street is closed, pedestrian access will also be restricted. The dirt path on the south side of Galloway Street is not part of the construction plan so that will remain open, but they do recommend for pedestrian safety that pedestrians not use that dirt path to access the metro station and bus bays. They advise pedestrians to detour around the entire site.
