Perhaps the digging they've begun at the southwest corner is an access point for when they get rid of the ramp.

    I guess what I'm saying is that it's obvious by change that they are already ramping up and preparing for the next phase of construction.
    I don't know if I would count on vertical construction next month. The two crane permits say Nov 1 and Dec 1. Given how this project has been progressing, I think we should consider ourselves lucky if we get one tower crane built before Christmas.

    They are also still covering all the caissons with earth after the drilling and concrete is poured. If the intention was to build on top of them soon, why bother with the effort to continue covering their tops underground?
