So the BIG design is still happening? I thought I remember hearing it was scrapped.
They went with a new design. This one I’m excited to see come to fruition!

There was an original BIG design, and a new design. Looks like the new design above is moving forward.

Got it. The old design was really good, but the new design looks pretty good also.

That section of the Powerhouse looks like it will connect to the promenade, but it seems they’re waiting for the rest of it to be finished. Not long ago, I saw a project for that small branch of the canal.

Woah. For some reason I didn’t imagine this was going to go right flush with 3rd Avenue
