Although it would mean losing most of the planters, I seriously hope the city takes this opportunity to expand that bus shelter when the northernmost planters are removed to build the ramp. It's already so packed there, and will only get busier with more people there. Even if half of it is just a roof – there needs to be more standing space that doesn't block the sidewalk.
Steel frame for tower crane being installed... tower crane this weekend!
I see the steel going up, but its not over the elevator shafts where other people have said will hold up the tower crane.
i just assumed the steel is for the building structure itself.
That was the steel I was talking about before. Looks like its just part of the building. Located to the south west corner of the southern elevator shaft.

I think you alll assume they are using the new buildings shafts. You forget that the old foundation also had shafts in place and since they are not using the same full footprint. My guess it they use those shafts.

The new elevator cores are rising from the shafts that were built in the parkade during the original Winnipeg Square construction.
