During recent work at the Macpherson shaft site, the contractor discovered a steel beam and column structure.

Currently, the City staff and the contractor are exploring the relocation of the Macpherson shaft site. This relocation would extend the overall project timeline, and a revised schedule will be developed accordingly.
