See the log below for each meeting where this came up.
Developer status update: containment wall begun, asbestos relocated, perimeter air monitoring with no escalations; newly found asbestos changed the work plan and delayed approvals (about three to six months behind). Remaining: demolish the tannery foundation, finish the wall, excavate remaining material, cap the containment cell. A site plan change with more apartments (546 homes) is under staff review; infrastructure work may start next summer during closeout. The city reimburses $3 million toward the pedestrian bridge. Committee members asked for periodic updates.
