Happy 2009! Here we are getting well into the new year. Today, while in Vancouver, I found the westbound lane on West Georgia at Howe Streets blocked off to traffic and a large crane in position at a former hotel being renovated into condos. These are a few photos I took of the event. There were large flatbed trucks waiting east of Howe Street with what looked to me like parts for a much larger crane. I'm certain there will be lots of activity for some time until the condo building is completed.
Here are some other shots of neighbouring buildings, including a shot of a window washer hard at work. You may recognize Hotel Vancouver in the photo above at the main corners of Burrard and West Georgia Streets. This is looking at the building from the east side. There will be more!
