I walked by this morning. At least temporarily, not having the old bus depot building provides a lovely new perspective of the Crystal Garden and the Empress.

other than the official statement by Bosa, saying something to the effect of "no plans currently....will do some pathways and landscaping".....is there any other grapevine news on this project? Is the old application "dead" or is it still active? thanks

They certainly don't seem to be in much of a hurry. It took two years to respond to the first staff comments. Second comments were provided Oct 2019 so maybe we'll hear something in the winter!
