Does anyone have any idea what it is they have to do regarding "curb cuts and sidewalk changes to allow the building's first floor to remain open for events during the renovation of the upper floors" ?   and why it would cost as much as $500,000??

BTW, Floyd, RecycleMichael, what was that you were saying about construction on the upper floors having already started earlier this summer?  []

One thing I can think of is improved truck access to the basement garage so visitor don't have the see the "ugly" work trucks.

That and if a construction lift is going to be needed. I think the elevators are more than non-functional, they are gone. And wouldn't elevator installation require a crane?

The elevators are present, they are being retrofitted for service.

I was wondering about that curb cut thing as well.  I assume it will route foot traffic around the construction.

And, er, yes, I was hoping you wouldn't mention that.  We can't all always be right.  I shoot for 98% or so.
