^Yeah the Anchor down the street is similar.
The stretch of west 3rd through the Mission reserve near Marine is finally under construction, two months after they said they'd start and about four years since planning started:

This is an ugly/run down stretch between two very up and coming areas these days. Not much we can do about the reserve landscaping/houses, but the street should look nice by winter and will no longer be a death trap for cyclists.

I'm disappointed they didn't do more to direct traffic towards Forbes/Esplanade/Low Level like they did on the other side recently. 3rd is far too often chosen by cross-town traffic when it should be a quieter local use street around Lonsdale.
I was debating whether to put this in a road thread or here, but since it's more about the aesthetic approach to LoLo than the road itself, I thought I'd put it here.
Here's a streetview of it right now:
